What is causes and effect of flood in Kannada
Answers
Answer:
-: CAUSES :-
Due to the heavy water discharge from the Maharashtra reservoir, the North Karnataka districts of Belagavi, Bijapur, Raichur, Kalburgi, Yadgir and Uttara Kannada were severely affected by the flood discharge.
On August 8, Karnataka received nearly five times the rainfall it normally used to have, adding to the severity of the ongoing floods in 12 districts that had killed 20 people by August 9, 2019.
Excess rainfall is the main possible factor that caused or intensified floods. According to government officials report any particular region can manage rainfall only up to a point, based on its land use and soil holding. Once that is breached, it floods.
-: IMPACT :-
As of 14 August 2019, 61 people have been killed and 15 people missing due to flood-related incidents across 22 districts of the state as per the data released by Karnataka State [Natural Disaster Monitoring Centre] (KSNDMC).[8]
More than 40,000 houses have been damaged in Karnataka floods, while more than 2,000 villages were affected. North, coastal and Malnad districts were worst affected. Other affected districts include Bagalkot, Bijayapura, Raichur, Yadgiri, Uttara Kannada, Dakshina Kannada, Shivamogga, Kodagu and Chikkamagalur.
