adapting to climate change 2 do Flashcards
why is agriculture effected by climate change
patterns of rainfall
extreme weather events such as heatwaves, droughts and floods
distribution of pests and diseases may change
what does the Gambia’s do to adapt to climate change effecting there farming
they have added:
drought resistant crops
shade trees to protect samplings from dying out due to the sun
new irrigation watering systems
managing water supply
more common to have floods and droughts due to climate change
unreliable rain requires more careful management
more poorer countries will be affected
Himalayas water management
Due to its physical setting, the HKH region is prone to various water-induced hazards (e.g., landslides, floods, glacial lake outburst floods, and droughts)
. Effective flood management requires sharing data and information between the upstream and downstream areas, not only within the country, but also at the trans boundary level. Technological innovations based on satellite information, in combination with ground-based data, can be transformed into information that can prove vital in saving lives and properties.
which countries will be effected
Bangladesh, India and Vietnam farming will be affected
sea level management in the Maldives
The oceans are rising by 9mm per year, meaning the islanders may have to abandon their homes before the end of the century. There are new efforts to stop the coral islands from being lost beneath the waves. Sea walls hold back the water and new land is being reclaimed from the sea.
