THE DISASTER at UTTARAKHAND in 2013
THE REASON FOR THE DISASTER !!!!!!...
THE PLACE WHERE THE FLOOD WAS SEVERE !!!!...
According to figures released by the Uttarakhand State government, more than 5,000 people were presumed dead. Destruction of bridges and roads trapped more than 100,000 pilgrims and tourists in the valley. The largest impact was at the temple town of Kedarnath, which saw the height of the annual pilgrimage season.
During the prolonged rain spell, more than 20 inches of rainfall was recorded in theregion.GLOBAL WARMING ??!!!..
It is not possible to link any individual weather or climatic event to global warming. However, in the recent past, such occurrences have happened very frequently over South Asia. The 2010 Pakistan floods and the 2005 Mumbai deluge are two cases in point. Studies show that there has been a 50 percent increase in extreme rainfall over the past 50 years in India. This suggests a substantial increase in flood-related hazards in the rain-affected regions.
