Drought reduction strategies in LEDCs Objective: to understand how people in LEDCs can manage their drought situations. Key Words: water harvesting, animal welfare, coppicing Drought recap – think about these questions: what is drought? what causes it? what are some of the consequences? Extra How would the consequences for drought differ between rich and poor countries?

LEDC v MEDC? LEDC = What does this stand for? Less Economically Developed Countries Countries like this include…….and I would expect them ……. (describe what they would be like) MEDC = What does this stand for? More Economically Developed Countries Countries like this include…….and I would expect them ……. (describe what they would be like)

Check point MEDC means…. LEDC means….. MEDC countries include…. LEDC countries include…..

Water harvesting Lots of small shallow holes are dug, surrounded by stones to trap water when it rains. You plant crops in these holes as the soli is wetter Animal welfare Teach people how to look after their animals so less will die. Also teach them what animals will best survive in a very dry environment Coppicing Chopping a tree down to about 30cm so lots of smaller branches will grow out. These can then be cut for fuel of to make houses. The stumpy trees also protect the ground and the tree continues to grow needing less water Bund (small walls) Built to stop soil from blowing away and trap water flowing over the ground giving it time to soak in to the ground Write a sentence to say how two of these methods helps people survive a drought…you can include a sketch Discuss in pairs: How can people in LEDCs cope with the problems of drought? People need to do things to save and collect water, and also minimise water loss….and it needs to use local materials be easy to do and VERY cheap.

You live in an LEDC….how do you collect as much water as you can and minimise waste Discuss ideas…focus on one…sketch it out and explain how it works

Check point Drought means…. Drought happens because…..

Objective: to understand how people in LEDCs can manage their drought situations. Managing drought and desertification in LEDCs…Mali and Niger – Tree planting schemes – Building small rock dams – Collecting rainwater from the roofs of buildings – Building terraces on steeper slopes – Building stone lines on gentle slopes – Planting grass strips along the very gentle slopes Select two of the 6 methods listed to manage desertification and drought…that you think would be the best Using sketches…explain why they would work so well in an LEDC like Mali…remember Mali is a VERY poor country Use the ideas on the next slide to help – Tree planting schemes – Building small rock dams – Collecting rainwater from the roofs of buildings – Building terraces on steeper slopes – Building stone lines on gentle slopes – Planting grass strips along the very gentle slopes Select three of the 6 methods listed to manage desertification and drought…that you think would be the best Using sketches…explain why they would work so well in an LEDC like Mali Explain why strategies in LECDs need to be so simple compared to MEDCs

My chosen methods (examples of what to do)

Some more help…. Building small stone lines on gentle slopes

Check point A method to reduce the effects of drought is..…. This would work well in an LEDC like Mali because …..

The best way to survive a drought in an LEDC is…….. because ………
