Effective groundwater management in urban areas
Often groundwater pumping is undertaken assuming the resource to be infinite.

Climate refugees: Implications for India
The fourth assessment report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) mentioned the “potential for population migration” due to increase in the number of areas affected by droughts and an increase in the intense tropical cyclones activities. Available scientific evidences indicate that a large number of people might be displaced due to climate change.
