Main Body

1Landslides in upper reaches → blocking flumes + deposition → GLOFs.
2Unconsolidated tunnel moraines whilst in thick cachy stuing heavy precipitations.
3human activities → afforestation leading to rise in runoff.
4Rainrain induced seismicity and slapodynamics charges.

Steps can be taken for mitigation and adaptation:

1Hazard zonation and mapping of glacial lakes (eg: ISRO Atlas)
2Vulnerability mapping in downstream region.
3Evacuation plans operationalization.

GLOFs per a serious hazard to human life thus early mitigation measures can reduce vulnerability.

Migration refers to permanent or semi-permanent change of residence of individuals.

Indian urbanization will see growing mystery trends in coming time.

Vital livelihood strategies for rural households:

1Employment cluster relocation - find high-paying jobs in urban areas; eg: Rural to urban migration as per Ravenstein.
2Shift from agriculture to service sector; eg: Pier 3 cities to Tier 1 cities (learnt - Delhi NCR).
3Need quality of life → urban transport and amenities, eg: Delhi metro, buses, etc
4Social mobility provided to lower caste, eg: dalits from village find new identity in urban areas.
5Agriculture led opportunities to semi-skilled jobs.
6low productivity of primary jobs in rural area as push factor, eg: mining, cultivation → unemployable enterprise (Leisure survey).

Issues faced:

1Gentrification and slumification, eg: (Mumbai | Mumbai)
2Low paying jobs → job insecurity
3Discrimination
