Groundwater samples were collected from various localities of Mithi sub-district of the Thar Desert of Pakistan and analysed
for fluoride ion along with other chemical parameters. The area is mainly covered by sand dunes and kaolin/granite at variable
depths. Results showed that collected water samples were severely contaminated by the presence of fluoride ion and most of
the samples have higher concentration than prescribed WHO standards (1.5 mg/l) for drinking water. Fluoride ion concentrations
ranged between 0.09 and 11.63 mg/l with mean and median values of 3.64 and 3.44 mg/l, respectively, in this area whereas,
distribution pattern showed high concentrations in the vicinity of Islamkot and Mithi towns. The content of F− has also been correlated with other major ions found in the groundwater of the study area. The positive correlation of F− with Na+ and HCO3
− showed that the water with high Na+ and HCO3
− stabilizes F− ions in the groundwater of the Thar Desert. The pH versus F− plots signifies high fluoride concentration at higher pH values, implying that alkaline environment favours the replacement
of exchangeable OH− with F− in the groundwater of Mithi area. The saturation indices (SI) of fluorite (CaF2) and calcite (CaCO3) in the groundwater samples showed that most of the samples are oversaturated with respect to calcite whereas majority of
samples have been found under saturated with respect to fluorite. The log TDS and Na/Na+Ca ratio reflected supremacy of weathering
of rocks, which promotes the availability of fluoride ions in the groundwater. Piper diagram has been used to classify the
hydrofacies. In the cation triangle, all samples are Na-type, while the anion triangle reflects major dominance of Cl-type
with a minor influence of HCO3
− and SO4

Managing risks from extreme events will be a crucial component of climate change adaptation. In this study, we demonstrate an approach to assess future risks and quantify the benefits of adaptation options at a city-scale, with application to flood risk in Mumbai. In 2005, Mumbai experienced unprecedented flooding, causing direct economic damages estimated at almost two billion USD and 500 fatalities. Our findings suggest that by the 2080s, in a SRES A2 scenario, an ??upper bound?? climate scenario could see the likelihood of a 2005-like event more than double. We estimate that total losses (direct plus indirect) associated with a 1-in-100 year event could triple compared with current situation (to $690?C$1,890 million USD), due to climate change alone. Continued rapid urbanisation could further increase the risk level. The analysis also demonstrates that adaptation could significantly reduce future losses; for example, estimates suggest that by improving the drainage system in Mumbai, losses associated with a 1-in-100 year flood event today could be reduced by as much as 70%.,We show that assessing the indirect costs of extreme events is an important component of an adaptation assessment, both in ensuring the analysis captures the full economic benefits of adaptation and also identifying options that can help to manage indirect risks of disasters. For example, we show that by extending insurance to 100% penetration, the indirect effects of flooding could be almost halved. We conclude that, while this study explores only the upper-bound climate scenario, the risk-assessment core demonstrated in this study could form an important quantitative tool in developing city-scale adaptation strategies. We provide a discussion of sources of uncertainty and risk-based tools could be linked with decision-making approaches to inform adaptation plans that are robust to climate change. 相似文献
