A Case Study on Diminishing of Hazard Related With Disaster by Utilizing Vetiver Grass System in Ecological System

Utilizing Vetiver Grass System for Effective Eco DRR and Hazard Reduction

Abstract

The Vetiver System (VS), which depends on the utilization of vetiver grass - a perpetual grass of Indian was first created by the World Bank for soil and water preservation in the mid-1980s. It is a straightforward, down to earth, reasonable, low maintenance and unimaginably proficient methods for natural disaster decrease. vetiver grass has been accounted for to have high resilience for extraordinary unfriendly conditions, including heavy metal toxicity, henceforth making it appropriate for the remediation of heavy metal-polluted soils. Vetiver is really a miracle grass, as it can do miracles, including the alleviation of disaster brought about by destructive heavy rains, notwithstanding a few other surely understood advantages to agricultural and non-agricultural exercises. The connection amongst ecosystem and disasters are generally archived however deficiently coordinated in to disaster hazard decreases activities and developmental projects. The present work looks at the extent of vetiver system as a natural answer for different ecological hazard decrease exercises. The two case works in the examination revealed here reports the achievement of VS application in the territory of Kerala in India and the execution methodology for the vetiver system in the fields with the cooperation of Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA). The investigation additionally distinguishes the potential section purposes of VS in the ecosystem-based disaster chance decrease (Eco-DRR). Integrating local dimension disaster hazard decrease exercises in the national dimension projects will guarantee the sectoral combination in DRR activities. Vetiver system can in all respects effectively be utilized as a practical and proficient Eco DRR innovation that can address both long term and short-term hazard with ecosystem management.
