Village by the Sea-Urbanization
We discussed in groups the potential effects of urbanization in Thul in Village by the Sea. Below are our answers and my further explanations.
1.Environmental Effects
Soil Effects
Soil Erosion
-Trees are cut down to make way for the factory. Without the roots to hold the soil together, wind and rain move large amounts of soil around, causing soil erosion.
-Soil erosion also causes danger to aquatic life in Thul. The soil may be moved inside the ponds, which causes it to become cloudy. Sunlight cannot reach the aquatic plants and they thus die. Aquatic animals also die because plants provide the necessary food and oxygen for the animals to survive.
-Soil erosion causes landslides, putting the people of Thul and their fields, livestock and homes in great danger.
Infertile Soil
-With the coming of the factory, the soil will get insufficient nutrients and will be infertile.
-Farmers cannot plant crops anymore and cannot earn a living.
Death of Soil Microbes
Air Effects
Sulphur Dioxide, Amonia and Dust in the Air
-These are pollutants and are released from the factory
High PSI
-High amounts of pollutants polluting the air.
Water Effects
Harmful Chemicals in Water such as Organic Mercury
-Discharged by the factory
Sub Effects:
-Death of Marine Life
-Poisoning of Marine Life and to the people who eat them
2.Social Effects
Villagers
No place to live
-Factory destroys their homes and takes up their land
Lose Money
-Cannot farm and fish anymore
Shortage of Jobs
-Jobs in the factory not offered to the villagers, and cannot farm and fish
Poisoned by the fish poisoned by the harmful chemicals in the water
Bombayites
Poisoned by the fish poisoned by the harmful chemicals in the water
Pollutes Bombay
-Bombay already extremely polluted
-Cannot stand anymore pollution
Overpopulation
-Villagers coming to Bombay to make a living and live
-Bombay already packed with people
Health Problems
-Villagers unhygienic
-Villagers bring in diseases
3.Light Pollution Problem
Stars not visible
-Actually were visible
-Bright lights of factory prevents the stars form being seen
-Must have been a beautiful sight which cannot be seen anymore
Harm Eyes
-Villagers not used to the glare of the lights
Peace in Village Disrupted
-Bustling Hub replaces peaceful village
-Lights and Sounds everyday disturbing
