Minor Problem -1
IMPACT OF LAND USE CHANGE ON WATER BALANCE FOR
THE PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE
Can a habitat and its people exist without water? Any settlement is
not just a thing, it is a system of things. Of which, water forms an
extremely essential element to sustain life Availability of water is
largely dependent on the availability of its ecological systems and
its services, rainfall distribution over an area, which again get
distributed into various components of interflow,
surface runoff etc. Increasing demand for land resources by a
rapidly growing population, with fast urbanization and
industrialization, has resulted in land use changes all over the
world. Land use and land cover changes considerably affect and
modify the proportion of these components of water resources,
which again causes significant changes in the ecological systems
and the services thus provided.
This minor problem ends with a 3 days workshop –Living Lab will
be conducted through expert Dr.Salil Sen from Bangkok.
