Ezokuvakasha zingenisa imali ebalulekile ezweni le-Gods, eKerala eNdiya. Isifunda saseNdiya iKerala siye sacekelwa phansi yizikhukhula ezinamandla. Bangaphezu kuka-350 abantu asebeshonile, kanti abangaphezu kwesigidi bathuthelwe emakamu osizo angaphezu kuka-4,000. Amashumi ezinkulungwane asadidekile.
I-SKAL yaziwa njengenhlangano enkulu yezokuvakasha neyokuvakasha eyakha imodeli yebhizinisi ngobungane.
Iklabhu ye-SKAL e-Duesseldorf, eJalimane ithatha izikhukhula e-Kerala njengesinyathelo sokuqongelela imali ukuze isize futhi iqalise kabusha ezokuvakasha e-Indian State. Noma ngubani ofuna ukweseka i-SKAL ngaphansi kobuholi bukaWolfgang Hofmann futhi afake isandla enhlekeleleni uyacelwa ukuba athumele iminikelo ku-S.kal International Düsseldorf, Postbank Essen IBAN DE18 3601 0043 0164 4334 36. Engeza ireferensi “Kerala”
Umshicileli wakwa-eTN uJuergen Steinmetz uthe: “Njengelungu le-Dusseldorf SKAL Club ngiyaziqhenya ngamalungu engikanye nawo e-SKAL ukuqala lolu hlelo. Ngethemba ukuthi abafundi bethu bazokweseka.”
Lezi zikhukhula ziye zachazwa “njengezimbi kakhulu eminyakeni eyikhulu” ungqongqoshe omkhulu wesifunda saseKerala. Izincazelo ezifanayo zivame ukusetshenziselwa ukuzama nokuchaza ubukhulu bezikhukhula, njengokuthi "isehlakalo sezikhukhula sonyaka owodwa kweyi-100," naphezu kokuqashelwa kabanzi ukuthi izincazelo ezinjalo azisebenzi ekukhulumeni ngengozi yezikhukhula. Izindlela zethu zokucabanga mayelana namathuba kanye nobungozi bezikhukhula, kanye nokulinganisa ubukhulu baso, zidinga kakhulu ukubuyekezwa. Isikhukhula seminyaka eyi-100, isikhukhula esinethuba elingu-100% lokwenzeka kunoma yimuphi unyaka, asibhalisi ekuqapheleni komphakathi.
Le nkinga iyisikhumbuzo esifike ngesikhathi sokuthi ukuguquka kwesimo sezulu kulindeleke ukuthi kwenyuse imvamisa nobukhulu bezikhukhula ezinamandla emhlabeni wonke. Nakuba ungekho uzamcolo owodwa ongaxhunyaniswa ngokuqondile nokushintsha kwesimo sezulu, i-basic physics ifakazela iqiniso lokuthi umhlaba ofudumele nomkhathi kuzobamba amanzi amaningi, okuzophumela emvuleni enamandla kakhulu futhi eyedlulele.
Isikhathi sezimvula sivame ukuletha izimvula ezinamandla kodwa kulo nyaka i-Kerala ibone imvula engaphezu kuka-42% kunalokho obekulindelwe, enemvula engaphezu kuka-2,300mm esifundeni sonke kusukela ekuqaleni kukaJuni, nangaphezu kuka-700mm ngo-Agasti kuphela.
Lawa ngamazinga afanayo abonwa ngesikhathi seSiphepho i-Harvey, esagadla e-Houston ngo-August 2017, lapho imvula engaphezu kuka-1,500mm yana phakathi nesiphepho esisodwa. Izivunguvungu neziphepho ezishisayo, njenge-Harvey, kulindeleke ukuthi zikhuphuke ngamandla ngokufika ku-10% ngokukhuphuka kwezinga lokushisa lomhlaba ngo-2℃. Ngaphansi kokuguquguquka kwesimo sezulu amathuba okuba imvula enamandla kangaka iphinde ikhule ngokuphindwe kasithupha ngasekupheleni kwekhulunyaka. Imifula nezinhlelo zokudonsa amanzi zaseKerala azikwazanga ukumelana nomthamo omkhulu kangaka wamanzi futhi lokhu kuye kwaphumela ezikhukhuleni.
Iningi lalawo manzi ngokuvamile lalizoncishiswa izihlahla noma ezinye izithiyo zemvelo. Nokho kule minyaka engu-40 edlule i-Kerala ilahlekelwe cishe ingxenye yehlathi layo, indawo engu-9,000 km², ngaphansi nje kobukhulu be-Greater London, kuyilapho izindawo zasemadolobheni ziqhubeka zikhula. Lokhu kusho ukuthi imvula encane ivinjwa, futhi amanzi amaningi angena ngokushesha emifuleni nasemifuleni echichimayo.
LOKHO ONGAKUTHATHE KULESI SIHLOKO:
- Similar descriptions are often used to try and define the magnitudes of a flood, such as a “one-in-100 year flood event,” despite it being widely recognised that such descriptions are ineffective for communicating flood risk.
- SKAL club in Duesseldorf, Germany takes the flood in Kerala as an initiative for a fundraiser to help and relaunch tourism in the Indian State.
- Isikhathi sezimvula sivame ukuletha izimvula ezinamandla kodwa kulo nyaka i-Kerala ibone imvula engaphezu kuka-42% kunalokho obekulindelwe, enemvula engaphezu kuka-2,300mm esifundeni sonke kusukela ekuqaleni kukaJuni, nangaphezu kuka-700mm ngo-Agasti kuphela.
