Theme: Engineering or Nature-Based Solutions for Climate Resilience

Suggested Sub-Themes (Pick ONE that excites you)

🏙️ Urban & Housing Themes

1. "Beat the Heat" – Solutions for urban heat islands (cool roofs, tree corridors, reflective paints, ventilation designs).

2. "Flood-Proof My Home" – Raised foundations, water-resistant materials, elevated electricals, or floating houses.

3. "Slum Resilience" – Low-cost drainage, community toilets on raised platforms, or piped water solutions for informal settlements.

🌊 Water & Coastal Themes

4. "Taming the River" – Engineering (embankments, spillways) vs. Nature (floodplain restoration, riparian buffers).

5. "Mangrove Army" – How mangroves reduce cyclone damage, plus engineered alternatives like vegetative sea walls.

6. "Rainwater Harvesting 2.0" – Traditional stepwells (baoli), rooftop harvesting, or recharge wells in cities.

⛰️ Land & Mountain Themes

7. "Landslide Stop" – Engineering (retaining walls, rock bolts) vs. Nature (vetiver grass,slope terracing, tree planting).

8. "Drought-Proof Farming" – Micro-irrigation, traditional kunds/tanks, agroforestry, or moisture-retaining bunds.

🔥 Disaster-Specific Themes

9. "Cyclone Ready" – Early warning systems, cyclone shelters, or mangrove belt restoration.

10. "Earthquake Safe" – Bamboo reinforcement, base isolation, or traditional construction techniques (taq, dhajji dewari).

11. "Traditional Wisdom" – Pick one indigenous solution (e.g., Apatani rice-fish system, Kashmiri houseboats, or Bhunga houses in Kutch).

Students are also free to select any other relevant topic connected to climate resilience and disaster management.
