All Mumbaikars/Indians !!! I need your help for Geography !!
holtadit:
There is this question in Paper 1 geography that keeps coming up VERY FREQUENTLY !!
It is a 7 mark case study question. Here it is:
For a named urban area, describe the impacts of its growth on the environment
Basically its asking how the growth of a named city has impacted the natural environment. I have done some research but cant come up with anything substantial for 7 marks.
Now some people (Nid 404 I am talking to you !!) who live in Mumbai/Delhi should have some info on how a recent expansion of their city has affected the NATURAL ENVIRONMENT.
Please post it here with DATES !! Just Bullet points will do I am prepared to elaborate/research more.
In the markscheme this is what they say :
Uses named example (e.g. Delhi).
Comprehensive and accurate statements which describe impacts of growth on natural
environment, with some place specific reference.
(e.g. pollution of river Yamuma by sewage from residential areas, air pollution from
factories/exhausts, deforestation when land cleared for building housing areas at Shahdrara
etc.)
