The central government is working on a policy structure to deal with the growing seawater level and coastal ground water level and its effects on coastal erosion. The environmental monitoring organization Nataknect Foundation has filed a complaint through the PMO website. Groundwater levels can also increase due to rising sea level. Concerns were expressed on research reports that there could be floods. B.N. Kumar drew attention to the Prime Minister that New Zealand’s new research conclusions are warning of danger. In the city of Navi Mumbai, uncontrolled development is being done by cutting the mangrove forests that reduce and stop coastal erosion.
Flood risk may increase
A new paper centered on New Zealand coastal city of Dunedin states that the rising level of the sea could change the groundwater level, which may increase the risk of internal floods. The Ministry said in a response signed by the Director of Effects Assessment (Arvind Kumar Aggarwal) that the ministry would consider the risks presented by the applicant during the development of the ministry’s policy framework.
Signs of further challenging changes ahead
The findings of the research were recently published in Science magazine, published by AGU, a global community of over five million supporters and professionals in Earth and Space Sciences. There is already a flood in South Dunedin, which will become even more challenging when the sea level increases. Researchers have described the city as an ideal city for climate change and rising sea levels to react and adapt to rising sea levels.
Need for water expansion instead of emptying water reserves
Therefore, he said in his complaint that instead of filling the reservoirs on the pretext of infrastructure development, there is an urgent need to maintain a place for water expansion. He said that instead of taking light environmental policies and environmental disasters, the government has come to prepare itself for the increase in sea level and for double hazards of floods in ground water level. He said that along with this, the Union Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change should monitor the coastal groundwater level while studying the rising sea level in collaboration with the Indian Geological Survey. Nataknect argued that in addition to a brief government report on coastal erosion, there is no serious discussion on rising sea level threats, while the country has a long coastline over 7,500 km.
Rice cultivation will be affected in Raigad district
In addition, in areas such as Panvel and Uran taluka in Raigad district of Maharashtra, rice fields are drowning in water and flooded due to interruptions in the natural flow of inter-magnificent water in the low-lying areas, Nandkumar Pawar, director of Sagar Shakti, said Nandkumar Pawar. Nevertheless, he regretted that the authorities are blinded by the crisis arising due to the rising sea level.
Another study has shown that more than 10 percent of Mumbai, Yanam and Roathukudi will be submerged due to rising sea levels by 2040. 5%-10%of Panaji and Chennai; And 1%-5%in Kochi, Mangalore, Visakhapatnam, Haldia, Udupi, Paradip and Puri. A study by Bangalore-based Science, Technology and Policy Studies Center (Nataknect) states that floods in Mangalore (Category-2 cities), Haldia, Paradip, Thudhukudi and Yanam (city) will be more serious in the year 2100.
