     Extractions: Teacher's Guide Index David experiences the powerful force behind a flooding river. Segment length: 7:19 Vocabulary It's hard to believe that a small, slow-running stream could cause harm. During a flood, however, even the calmest brook can become a torrent and cause unforeseen misery and damage. Many people like to live near a body of running fresh water. Rivers and streams provide recreation, food, and, of course, drinking water. But when rain or melting snow produces large amounts of water, rivers and streams may flood, causing problems for those who live nearby. Although we describe floods as disasters, they are, in fact, natural phenomena. Floods occur when a watershed receives so much water that its waterways cannot drain it off properly. A watershed is an area of land (usually quite large) that drains into a river or stream. A small river will drain several thousand or hundreds of thousands of acres of land. Within any one watershed, excess rain will cause increased water levels downstream. What occurs at any point along a river can affect not only that point but also the entire watershed.

Authorities said Thursday at least 15,000 villagers had taken shelter atop raised ground or mud embankments in the worst hit Sylhet and Sunamganj districts. The region is 190 kilometers (120 miles) northeast of the capital, Dhaka, and borders on the Indian states of Assam and Meghalaya. On Tuesday and Wednesday, floodwaters entered 55 more frontier villages in Sylhet district, closing schools and stores, Dhaka's Flood Warning Center said. Now 200,000 people are stranded in more than 200 villages in the northern districts, where schools and businesses are closed, said the center.

     Extractions: Main There is massive flooding all across Romania this week. "Massive" here means thousands of houses destroyed and nearly 10,000 people turned into flood refugees, with ~$1 billion of damage. Five provinces have declared a state of emergency. Last time I checked, there were eight people dead and five missing, but those numbers are sure to increase. Most of the flooding seems to be around the arc of the Carpathians. Bucharest has barely been affected. (Though I did notice that the little Dumbovitsa river, the one that runs through a concrete chute downtown, was at an all-time high.) This makes me wonder if deforestation may have played a role; a lot of trees have been cut down in Romania in the last 10 years. But that's just a guess. It doesn't seem to have made the news outside Romania too much. Posted by douglas at July 15, 2005 02:11 PM Comments GReetings from the US. Walhalla, South Carolina is receiving some news about the flooding in Romania. Actually from the Walhalla Foundation. (www.walhallafoundation.org) It sounds pretty bad. Is it affecting the city of Calarasi? I hope I spelled that right. The city is near Bucharest. What about Cluj and Zalua? We have 2 mission teams traveling to Romania. One leaving 7-25-05 and one leaving 8-4-05. We will be working in Zalua and surrounding villages doing construction and Bible School. Keep up the blogging! Posted by: Bec at July 18, 2005 08:57 AM

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia After days of widespread flooding in peninsular Malaysia, thousands of people have begun to return home as the waters recede. Heavy annual monsoon rains left four children dead and one missing the victim of a mudslide that swept away hillside houses, according to the Bernama state news agency. Three states in the east including Johor, Terengganu and Pahang had to evacuate people to relief centers when swollen rivers, land and mudslides wreaked havoc. The deluge has also affected farmers in the central Cameron Highlands, causing potential losses to produce and blocking routes to markets. Many roads became impassable, including a number of routes over the mountains to the capital Kuala Lumpur, due to landslides and rising floodwater.

     Extractions: Background Several extreme weather events have recently caused large-scale losses across the U.K. Examples include the windstorm during the Christmas and New Year period in 1997/98, the floods along inland rivers in central England in April 1998, and the storms and inland floods across the U.K. between October 2000 and February 2001. Each of these events caused several fatalities, damaged hundreds of millions of pounds worth of property, and caused severe disruption to society. History illustrates that much more severe events have occurred in the past and the current state of rapid, global climate change is expected to produce more severe and more frequent extreme events in the future.

     Extractions: Floods frequently cause loss of life; property damage and destruction; damage and disruption of communications, transportation, electric service, and community services; crop and livestock damage and loss and interruption of business. Hazards of fire, health and transportation accidents and contamination of water supplies are likely effects of flooding situations. New England has a long history of flood events. Because New England has a large coastline, major rivers with dams and large urban areas, it is susceptible to the many forms of flooding. This includes river flooding, coastal flooding from hurricanes and Northeasters, flooding from dam failure, and urban flooding from runoff that cannot be absorbed by pavement. The Vermont Flood of 1927 was the deadliest natural disaster in the States history; eighty-four people were killed with over $28 million in property damage. The Spring Floods of 1936, which affected all of New England, caused $113,000,000 in damage, killed 24 people and made 77,000 people homeless. During this flood alone, the main street of Hooksett, New Hampshire was 18-20 feet underwater.
