1.Describe the areas most affected by the flood in 2009 (4) Describe – say what you see...use ALL the information on the map to help you. 4 marks = 4 points. Use bullet points to help you structure your answer. On the floodplain of the River Zambezi in Western Zambia, Eastern Angola. Eastern Malawi and Mozambique Western Madagascar North East Namibia and southern Angola Floodplain of R.Cubango and R Luangwa. STRETCH QUESTION -. The floods affected over 600,000 people in Zambia and over 200,000 in Angola. Using your own knowledge, explain why do you think the effects were so serious ? (4) each of the points below would need developing. poorly protected floodplains... As a result...therefore...consequently no money or infrastructure to rescue people quickly Poorly constructed homes. People settle close to rivers and use the fertile soil to farm crop.

SDME – LEDC On your desk you each have a copy of the SDME example which is about flooding and management in an LEDC. The paper is 1hr30mins, 40marks. You have about 15minutes minutes to read through the paper. 3 sections on your paper: Background (short mark)– 10 marks (15mins) Options (usually 2 longer mark questions – explain and use sources) – 14 marks (25 mins) Decision (essay – long answer using source and own knowledge) 16 marks (30mins) Checking your answers 5 minutes TASKS 1.Read through the sources – if you don’t understand any of them ask your table. 2.Read through the questions – check you understand what they are showing you. 3.Underline the command and signposter words. 4.Answer each section as a table – mark together 5.Decision making section – plan together, write individually.

By the end of the lesson... Describe the location of the floods in Zambia using maps (C) Describe the effects of the flooding on people, economy and environment (B) Explain why the effects of the floods were so serious (A) Assess the effectiveness of flood prevention methods in LEDCs and give reasons for these (A*)

Source B - Hydrograph for River Zambezi (Zambia) 2009 Source A Map of Zambezi River Basin Source D – causes of flooding I am a farmer on the floodplain of the River Zambezi in Namibia. I have lost all my crops for the last 3 years and rely on food aid to feed me and my family. We need to control the flooding, but make sure that the soil remains fertile and my animals can drink from the river. As the PM of Zambia I am concerned about the development of a dam on the border with Namibia. If this goes ahead we will lose valuable farmland and our farmers will become even poorer. The fishermen will suffer also as the flow of the river will be disturbed which will affect the fish. This is not a good idea. Healthcare in Namibia is poor. There is little access to clinics and as a result people often do not get the care they need. HIV /AIDS is increasing and death from easily treated illnesses such as malaria and diarrhoea go untreated and people die. Source B stakeholders opinions on flooding and prevention

Source E Responses to flooding in Zambezi River Basin Namibian Prime Minster declared a state of emergency and the army came to help Namibian Government allocated US £13million for emergency responses. They also requested help from the UK NGOs like OXFAM established 1300 temporary housing camps across Mozambique, Zambia and Namibia Emergency food, tents and medicine was sent by charities and distributed by aid workers and the army in various countries. Zambezi River Basin Initiative is being run by the Red Cross and will help 600,000 people to prepare for flooding by afforestation projects, educating people about how to build levees and contour plough so soil erosion does not make flooding worse. Mpahnda Nkuma Dam Project – new dam built in Mozambique. It will help to prevent flooding as it will control the flow. It will also supply electricity. It has cost $2.3 billion. Use of satellite images to better inform decision makers about where the flood risk areas are located. Source F Questions – answer using sources Background section 1.What does happens to the river if the discharge of the river is above ‘bankfull’?

Using Source A,C and F explain which country you think was most seriously affected. You should justify your answer (6) 2.Using Source B explain why the Namibian Government and Zambian Government may disagree about flood prevention methods (4) 3.Using Source E outline what was done in the short term to manage the flooding along the Zambezi (4) 4. Explain which you think would be the most sustainable long term response? Explain your reasons. (6) -The Zambezi River Basin Initiative -Mphanda Nkuma Dam -Use of Satellite images

Decision Namibia suffers from regular flooding which is impacting on people, the environment and the economy. As a result the government want to bring in some flood prevention methods to reduce the impact of flooding. There are 3 options they are examining. 1.Spatial Planning – moving the clinics way from the areas where previous floods have occurred (blue areas on map) 2. Build a dam to the North East of Isize clinic (blue dot on map). This would require a large area in Zambia to be flooded to enable a reservoir to be constructed. A turbine would be installed to generate electricity for Namibia. 3. Afforestation of the entire region which is at risk of flooding and education of famers to use contour ploughing to reduce soil erosion. Choose the option above which you think is most sustainable. you should: 1.State your chosen option 2.Explain why you think it is more sustainable than the other options. Taking into account the impact on various stakeholders. 3.Explain any disadvantages of this option.
