Shallow creeks, rivers contribute to flooding
Fiji Times News, 31 March 2012. Extensive floodwaters that
inundated centres in the Western Division, Viti Levu, Fiji could
have been caused by shallow rivers, creeks and waterways
view of acting divisional roads engineer Western Munsami Naidu.
"More than 30 roads are now closed and this flood is going
to cause a lot of damage to roads we were just beginning
to repair as a result of the January floods. "An important
contributing factor to the floods is the fact that most
waterways were made shallow by the floods earlier this
year with increased silt and debris and the heavy rainfall
caused rivers and creeks to flood very rapidly."

Press Release : IPCC releases full report on Managing the Risks of Extreme Events and Disasters to Advance Climate Change Adaptation (SREX)
28 March 2012 - Evidence suggests that climate change has
led to changes in climate extremes such as heat waves, record
high temperatures and, in many regions, heavy precipitation in
the past half century, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change said today. Climate extremes, or even a series of
non-extreme events, in combination with social
vulnerabilities and exposure to risks can produce
climate-related disasters, the IPCC said in its Special Report
on Managing the Risks of Extreme Events and Disasters to
