Task for IB Geography Students – being keen students like you are you have probably done this already, but: Produce a case study of the weekend’s storm focusing upon the flooding elements.
You case study needs to be structured around the 5 W’s:
What
What happened? Can you produce a timeline of the main events? What flood defences are there on the Garonne (or tributary rivers)? Make sure there are facts such as maximum river height, area of flooded land etc that you can quote in your exams.
When
This could be combined with the ‘what’.
Where
Why
Why did the rivers flood?
Who
Who was affected?
Who did something about it? How does ‘alert rouge’ work as a management strategy?
