The National Center for Sustainable Coast Management (NCSCM) under the Ministry of the Environment, Forest and Climate Change has proposed multiple approach to local communities to combat the threat of swelling waves along the coastal states.
The report prepared by the Agency on the National Green Tribunal Directive recommended the establishment of evacuation routes, the nourishment on the beach and the spatial planning to minimize the impact of potential disasters caused by phenomenon, locally known as “Kallakadal” (“Rogue”).
The main bench of the Tribunal in Nový Dilli took a report of the report in Hindu 4.
The NCSCM report said the sudden nature of waves had a significant impact on the Indian coast, especially in states like Kerala. It can damage houses and infrastructure and disrupt the livelihood of coastal communities, especially in low -laid areas such as Alappuzha, Kollam and Thiruvananthapuram. Understanding the phenomenon is essential for the development of early warning systems and an increase in community awareness to reduce the impact of such flood events, she said.
The report indicated that the determination of clear and available evacuation routes to higher areas or inland areas is essential for community safety during wave events. These routes should be well labeled, especially in the inhabitants in low -laid regions with a higher risk of floods.
He pointed out that the design of protective infrastructure is necessary to reduce the impact of waves. Communities can construct structures such as sea walls, reterfilments, weaknesses, piers and wavyes to reduce the energy of the waves and minimize the coastal erosion. These protective measures should be designed on the basis of local wave formulas and environmental conditions in order to maximize their efficiency, he said.
