The technical seminar was on the topic “Climate Change & Water:
Vulnerability & Adaptation”. A clear understanding was made on the concepts of climate and meterological changes that affects the environment to a greater extent. The main reasons for the climate change are as follows
- Deforestation
- Exhaustion of fossil fuels
- Industrial pollution
- Increase in water usage
- Over dependence on electricity
A detailed discussion was made on the above said factors which has a prominent impact on the climatological changes. The key climate risks for coastal Areas are
- Weather parameters: Monsoon vagaries – frequent monsoon failure, uneven spatio-temporal distribution of rainfall, Increasing temperature.
- Water Quantum : Shrinkage of water bodies, Surface & Ground water depletion, Quality : Intrusion of sea water & secondary Salinization
- Food security due to fall in agricultural production Unseasonal Rainfall ,Frequent droughts / Floods & Increase in salinity of irrigation water & land
- Coastal ecosystem Flooding and Cyclones, Sea level rise, Land use changes & Heavy urbanization along the coastal region.
The key points which were discussed and concluded are as follows
- Seasonal Climate Forecasts for Water Management
- Need to strengthen research on regional adaptation
- Improve access to best available information on possible impacts o climate change
- Adequate fund allocation to improve local capacities on adaptation
- Take into account of needs and specificities of the region for developing adaptation
- More awareness campaigns
- Participation of people in economizing water & Electricity usage
- Encouraging reuse of water
