Question Q15Examine the impacts and suggest suitable mitigation and adaptation strategiesGS1GS1
Examine the impacts of climate change on the hydrological cycle and suggest suitable mitigation and adaptation strategies to contain the harmful implications.
Introduction
Climate change is a increase in temperature of both (150+2) leading to alteration of weather, rainfall pattern and increased frequency of droughts.

Main Body
1Increase in temperature leads to increased evaporation and hence altered rainfall.
2Transmutation: altered plant changes leading to loss of biodiversity.
3Cloud formation affected due to increase in over-temperature contribute to droughts in regions.
4Atlantic Meridional Circulation has weakened leading to change in Ocean Currents and alteration of evaporation, precipitation pattern.
5Increased Low-Pressure, cyclonic system in tropical region - Bifurcating causing storms in sea and ingest frequent disasters on India Coast.
Mitigation Strategies:
1Afforestation and Social form forestry to increase GHG concentration and also provide oxygen.
2Rain Water Harvesting Measures - for top soil conservation and storage as groundwater salinity soil.
3Disaster mapping and vulnerable area to prevent impact of cyclonic/drought related disaster.
4Technical Initiatives such as aerosol spray to combat global warming & cloud seeding to combat deficient rainfall.
5Renewable Energy: Solar / Wind Energy to displace GHG emissions and adopt sustainable energy model.
6International Calibration: OPEC, OSOCG, State Agencies, IRIS, IFC to combat Climate Change Impact.
