    This geography project presentation explores rivers, including human uses of rivers and flooding. For human uses, the presentation discusses river tourism, freshwater fishing, how human activities like pollution, marine dumping, and agriculture impact river life, and ways to protect rivers like planting rain gardens and using rain barrels. For flooding, the presentation explains how floods occur from heavy rainfall or snowmelt, types of floods like flash floods, natural and human factors that contribute to flooding risk, and details a severe 2022 flood in Bangladesh that impacted over 7 million people.

    RIVERS:

    IN THIS PRESENTATION THE TWO ASPECTS THAT IM GOING TO EXPLORE


    ARE, HUMAN USES AND FLOODING.THE RESOURCES AND ACTIVITIES
    THAT I USED FOR THIS PRESENTATION ARE, THE SCHOOL BOOK, HELP
    FROM A FAMILY FRIEND THAT IS ALSO A GEOGRAPHY TUTOR AND
    ONLINE RESCOURCES.

    .SECTION 1: HUMAN USES

    SECTION 2: FLOODING
    SECTION 1: HUMAN USES:

    1. HOW, DO WE USE RIVERS TODAY?

    River tourism: Rivers attracts tourist


    due to its beauty and the number of
    adventure sports they support.
    Boating, fishing, swimming, bird
    watching and canoeing.
    Fresh water fishing: it’s a very
    important activity along many rivers
    and lakes.

    2.HOW DO OUR ACTIONS IMPACT ON RIVERLIFE?

    Human activities that pollute water:


    Industries across the world are contributors to water
    pollution.
    marine dumping: [dumping garbage into the water]
    global warming [causing temperature to rise that can
    kill animals in the water]
    agriculture [the chemicals and pesticides that go into
    crops that farmers grow soaks into the groundwater.
    When it rains the chemicals mix with the rainwater.
    Then flows into rivers, causing further water pollution]

    2
    3. Suggest ways we can look after river life and
    save water:
    plant a rain garden: these gardens soak up rain
    water so pollutants are filtered in plants and
    soils instead of going directly into waterways.

    Use a rain barrel: Rain barrel collects the first


    flush of water during a storm which is important
    because the first rainfall includes the most
    pollution. This water then goes into your garden
    then filters the pollutants before they enter our
    rivers.

    SECTION 2: FLOODING:
    1. How does a flood occur?
    Floods occur when an overflow of water submerges land
    that is usually dry. Floods are often caused by heavy
    rainfall or extreme snowmelt.

    1 type of flood:
    Flash flood: is a quick flood caused by a heavy burst of rain
    a lot of water falls quickly into cities and towns the drains
    overflow and roads become flooded.

    2. What are the natural factors and human factors that


    contribute to risk of flooding?

    3
    natural factors: Less evaporation, Snow has melted, River
    rises.
    Humans also have an important role in increasing the
    risk of flooding. Forests are being destroyed to make
    space for making cities and towns. In large forests, the
    rain gets caught by the branches and leaves which means
    some of the water evaporates back into the atmosphere.
    When trees are cut down, more rain will reach the ground
    making it easier to cause flooding.

    3.BANGLADESH FLOOD:
    There have been many severe floods in our history. In the
    last few years 50 floods occurred in Asia alone. One of the
    most affected countries in the world is Bangladesh. In
    June 2022,Bangladesh was hit by one of the worst floods
    ever seen in the country. Over 7 million people were
    affected and still in need of urgent help. This flood was
    caused from very heavy rain in the Northern India and fast
    rising water. The heavy rain caused the large rivers
    running between India and Bangladesh to overflow their
    banks that caused flooding. The flooding has caused
    serious on health of the population with many suffering
    from diarrhea, skin and
    eye infections.
