Himalayan disaster explained

A devastating flood last week on the upper reaches of the Rishi Ganga River, in India’s northern state of Uttarakhand, is a stark warning of the hazards of hydropower development under the dual threats of climate change and young, unstable mountains, scientists said last Friday in a webinar hosted by the The Earth Institute at Columbia University, New York, US.
The flood came thundering down the Alaknanda River, a Ganges River headstream, and hit two dams (one still under construction), smashing both and killing dozens of people, including construction workers caught unawares at the second dam site.

Growing up in his settlement in Nadi, western Fiji, Sundar Lal recalls an abundance of fish, crabs and prawns in the nearby creeks, rivers and foreshore areas.
“We never returned empty-handed,” he recalls.
Mr Lal, 80, lives in a small farming and fishing community, called Tunalia, on Fiji’s main island, Viti Levu, in the Southern Pacific.
Besides farming, fish is part of Tunalia’s fabric, both as an important source of protein and extra income.
Tunalia is representative of similar communities across the Fijian archipelago, where fishing holds deep cultural, economic and dietary significance.
