Mitigation Techniques
• Embankments
• Drainage improvement
• Raising of villages
Embankments
Basically, an embankment is a raised
structure built along river edges, canals,
and roadsides. it is usually made of earth,
gravel, and occasionally concrete; its
elementary behavior serves to either retain
water within wanted bounds or prevent
Drainage Improvement
Improvement in drainage refers to the act of bettering
or optimizing a system that handles the flow of water
away from any particular area. It comprises various
engineering and construction techniques that help
avoid accumulation of water, reduce flood risks, and
dispose off the excess water appropriately.
Raising of villages
Village raising to prevent flooding is the intentional
elevation of the residential areas or, in cases like
Rosenstein, a whole settlement above the level of a
floodplain or above flood-prone areas. The measure
is adopted to prevent damage from floods.

 A significant factor behind the
raging wildfires is the
heightened aridity in the region,
Uttarakhand a consequence of the heat wave
affecting the Nainital and
Champawat districts, bordering
Nepal
Recent Wild Fires in Uttarakhand
2 May, 2024
An important contributor to forest fires is the
heightened dryness. This dryness has been a
result of the heat wave in the Nainital and
Champawat districts, surrounding Nepal. This
has been seen as an important reason behind
the forest fires in the state of Uttarakhand.

The fires went unnoticed for several
weeks. the fires were caused by a heatwave
that spread across Uttarakhand and were
the worst recorded in the region, with a
reported 4,538 hectares of forest burned
and 7 people dead

Controlled Burning
Controlled burning is a technique in the
management of forests, agriculture, and
conservation of land. setting and
controlling fires under controlled
conditions are done for a type of
environmental or land management
objective.
Enhanced surveillance using drones
Enhanced surveillance using drones for wildfires
involves the use of unmanned aerial vehicles
popularly known as drones, equipped with a number
of sensors and cameras to monitor and capture in
real-time any data on wildfires. It therefore
supplements the traditional methods of wildfire
surveillance since, in comparison, it holds a number
of advantages such as detecting the wildfire early and
being safe.

Biomass Removal
Biomass removal simply means harvesting
or clearance of organic material within a
given location, usually for various reasons
pertaining to land management. in this
context, the term "biomass" refers
specifically to plant materials like trees,
shrubs, grasses, and so on.
