My area landscape analysis examining every activities done it

The ara I chosen for this study is called Muyenga in capital of Uganda city Uganda.It is located on a pitcher with gentle slopes each side of it, and surrounded by swamp argonas( irrigate system logged force fields).The whole battleground unfold is about 4 square kilometers and 5 kilometers from the city center. It is accessed through tama ked roads with legal wet carry. When stood on the tip of this area you can check a clear view of the whole underneath surrounding areas with a clear city view.Part of this area is rocky with a chaparral type of vegetation coverage. The other instalments of this area are sandy with savanna signifier of vegetation and tall tresses.On the other side of this hill there is another swamp with a wide coverage of paper rush vegetation stretch up to the clear water lake (Lake. Victoria)WHAT IS GOING ONThis area is sub-divided into several developments and several activities are taking place. On the top of this hill there is located one of t he biggest city water interpret tank.There is a section of this area which is developed in a residential housing estate. Houses in this section of this area asseverate good gardens with trees in compounds.The section which has rocks have been developed into quarries (stone mining and cracking) and or so twist sand mining. The other side of this area which has the papyrus vegetation coverage has been partly conserved for one thousand belt by the national environmental management authority (NEMA). This meant that there are no activities/developments allowed in this section before the approval of this institution.Other down hill areas has been gazette in to industrial areas and there are as well some unplanned accouterments (slums) in this industrial area.WHAT FITS TOGETHERThe development of this area into a residential housing estate is ok since a tree planting is retained and a green grass in compounds. The section of this area which has the rocks to be developed in a quarry was also fine. The conservation of the green belt (wet land) was fantastic. The maintain ace of tama ked roads with good water bring also fits be pull in this act prevents soil erosion.WHAT DOEST FITThe development of some parts of the swamp into the industrial area did not fit, because swamps act as natural water filter and purifiers. You know water from factories and industries and other activities in the city is upliftedly polluted. So there is a need for swafor water purification before it gets into the lake. When polluted water goes straight in the lake it causes a high risky of living water spices endangerment .This can also cause high rates of pipeline water purification. Secondly it is not firm to establish factories and industries skinny to residential areas. There is a standard outperform to be maintained.The encroachment of peasants on the gazette greenbelt also didnt fit. The drainage of swamps for other activities like unplanned housing (slums) also doesnt fitSPEC ULATE WHAT HAPPENEDGeographically it is said that this area falls into the sept of a plateau. It is speculated to be having make by either weathering or up and down warping. A plateau some times called tableland is a large stretch of land with approximately similar heights supra sea level. (Tamale.E. geographics in the new era 1997)It stands out higher(prenominal) than surrounding areas or in form of a wave kind of formation with its sides slope down to the lower lands.A plateau compared to an lordly plain, bears a very big difference between the two.With a plateau, valleys are narrow, deep sometimes with steep sides yet for a pain there are broad with big stretches. The rivers in a plateau are swift and carve deep compared to those in plain.Plateaus are always high (height above sea level) compared to plains.(Morgan. Advanced geography for secondary schools.2001)It is thought that plateaus were formed as a result of wearing down of higher rough areas or by the process of denud ation. And if this continues to be effective, the whole plateau force be reduced to near a plains height.(Tendo.L.Modern geography 2002)WHAT IS CURRENTLY HAPPENINGThe fact that this area is considered to be a plateau. This area is greatly exploited by mans activities which are a threat to its sharp and future existence.The terracing of the area for leveling building sites, raw down of trees and drainage of swamps and wetlands is going on this area.Industrial wastes and polluted water goes direct in the clear water lake. Brokerage of water channels and encroachment in wet lands for peasant farming and unplanned housing.WHAT power HAPPENIf all these activities mentioned above are not chastenled there is a affirmable flooding which might take place. The act of stone cutting and mining causes a great threat to this area (plateau) weathering down in to plain in future.The act of gazette swamp to industrial areas causes a big threat to the lake water pollution and thus high be of pip e line water purification.Also industries to be located near residential areas are a very big threat to the wellness of the people.Encroachment on the wetlands and clearing of the papyrus vegetation is a possible threat of reduction of water levels in the lake.EVALUTIONMy opinion about this is, early I would appeal to the concerned to maintain not only for this area but a national tree planting campaign. This can assure conservation of soil and reduction of erosion.I would discourage industrialization of swamps and wetlands to maintain a steady and healthy stretch of the green belt. This can attend to ensure a good natural purification of polluted water before it gets in the fresh water lake. This thus can also reduce on the cost of pipe line water sermon and purification.I would support the national environment management authority in its struggle to conserve the environment.Every strategy put in control we can preserve and conserve our environmentReference listTamale.E (1997).
