Impacts of Flood on Socio-Economic Activities of Riverine People: a Case Study of Three Selected Villages in Dibrugarh District, Assam
International Conference on Recent Trend and Practices in Science, Technology, Management and Humanities for Sustainable Rural Development (STMH - 2019) Impacts of Flood on Socio-Economic Activities of Riverine People: A Case Study of Three Selected Villages in Dibrugarh District, Assam Prasanna Bora Guest Lecturer, Department of Geography, N.N Saikia College, Titabar E-mail: [email protected] Abstract—Excessive input of water in a drainage system within a seen the impact of disaster in terms of social change. The short span of time causes flood and erosion. Flood leads to study is mainly concerned with the impact of flood on the inundation of low lying area and causes mass destruction of human people residing near the river. Burhi Dihing is the largest lives and property mostly in densely populated areas. Nigg and south bank tributary of river Brahmaputra of about 380 km Tiemy (1993) have seen the impact of disaster in terms of social from source to mouth. This river has close relation with change. Burhi Dihing is a meandering river which has a character of frequent flood and shifting bank line within the alluvial plain by history and geography of Assam. To study and analyze the erosion. The present study is based on empirical level. Empirical nature and impact of flood and erosion on the riverine people data is generated from both primary as well as secondary sources. three villages of Borboruah Block of Dibrugarh District i.e., The proposed study emphasizes to understand the impact of flood and Kawoimari, Senimari and Dihing Majdoor have been selected. erosional activities on socio-economic profile of the study area.

RURAL RISK ASSESSMENT DUE TO FLOODING AND RIVERBANK EROSION IN MAJULI, ASSAM, INDIA ABSTRACT The risk to the rural society of Majuli, located in the State of Assam, India, due to flooding and unrelenting riverbank erosion had been assessed using both conventional field survey method as well as non-conventional remote sensing technique. Flood inundated areas of Majuli were extracted using Radarsat-1 imageries of 21st July, 2004 and 17th September, 2010 covering the near peak flood of 2004 and end of a peak flood in 2010.

Reimagining a Violent Landscape: Disaster
REIMAGINING A VIOLENT LANDSCAPE: DISASTER, DEVELOPMENT, AND CARTOGRAPHIC IMAGINATION IN THE BRAHMAPUTRA RIVER VALLEY by Kevin Inks A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science (Geography) at the UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN-MADISON 2019 i ABSTRACT The physical geography of India's Brahmaputra River, one of the world's largest braided rivers, is characterized by constant shift. Communities along the river experience frequent and intense flooding, and displacement due erosion and flood damage is common. Majuli, the world’s largest river island, is experiencing both erosion and creation of ‘new’ lands along its borders due to high sediment deposition. Having not been surveyed in nearly fifty years, 'new' lands formed from sediment deposition in Majuli are untitled and government-owned, and communities settled on these lands are not entitled to resettlement assistance. The adaptation and migration strategies adopted by residents of these informal settlements are poorly understood. Semi-structured interviews and comprehensive surveys focused on perceptions of risk, efficacy of disaster relief, and migration strategies were conducted with households identified as being at-risk of catastrophic flooding and erosion in Majuli District, Assam. Interviews with policymakers, government workers, and religious leaders were conducted to assess disaster relief efforts in informal settlements. The results suggest that policymakers’ static understanding of land shapes flooding patterns and migration regimes. Members of informal settlements at high risk of displacement adapt to the lack of government assistance by altering adaptation and migration strategies, but are largely constrained to repeated informal resettlement on un-surveyed land. More effective and flexible surveying practices, in combination with expanded disaster relief, are essential to minimize displacement and work towards a new understanding of geomorphology, land tenure, and disaster management as dynamic, intertwined processes.

Summary of Project
SUMMARY OF PROJECT Khowans - Shalmari Block OIL INDIA LIMITED (OIL), a Government of India Navaratna Enterprise, is currently engaged in carrying out exploration, development and transportation activities in its operational areas in Upper Assam, Artrnachal Pradesh and Mizoram in the North Eastern part of India for petroleum exploration. OIL is also undertaking hydrocarbon exploration activities in few other Indian states and few overseas countries. Govt. of India and Assam had awarded Petroleum Mining Lease (PML) for exploration and development of oil & gas namely; Dumduma (Block-A), Dibrugarh, Dibrugarh Extn., Moran, Moran Extn., Naharkatiya, Hugrijan, Borhat, Sapkiant and Dholiya PMLs and adjoining areas spread over the administrative districts of Sibsagar and Dibrugarh of Assam to Oil India Limited. The region comprises of areas pertaining to Shalmari, Parbatipur, Rajgarh and South Tinali and is located towards the western part of OIL's operational area in Upper Assam. 3D seismic surveys were carried out extensively in the block. The 3D surveys include Parts of Borhat Sapekhati, Moran, Haldibari-Dikhari pathar areas. Also, 2D seismic lines were acquired earlier. The area nearby involves the established oil and gas bearing structures viz. Umatara, Balimara in the East to Moran oil fields in the West which are primarily producing from Miocene-Oligocene formations with Moran and Shalmari areas which are producing from both Barail and deeper Lakadong+Therria reservoirs. Seismic interpretation of 2D and 3D led to identify structures to probe Paleocene-Lower Eocene prospects in the area. Oil was discovered in Sologuri- 1 in Lakadong+Therria Formation and presently under production. Oil India Limited is presently producing crude oil and gas from the Khowang - Shalmari area, which is spread over the administrative districts of Tinsukia, Sibsagar and Dibrugarh in Assam.
