Distribution:
✅They are mainly divided into two main groups: the Central and Eastern or Rajput Bhils.
✅The Central Bhils are found in the mountain regions in Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Gujarat and Rajasthan.
✅Bhils are also found in the north eastern parts of Tripura.
✅Occupation: Nearly all of the Bhil engage in agriculture, some using the slash-and-burn (jhum) method but most employing the ploughs.

🔆Tidal Flooding
✅Tidal flooding, also known as “nuisance flooding” or “sunny day flooding,” happens when high tides cause water levels to rise and flood low-lying coastal areas.
✅Causes: Changes in prevailing winds, shifts in ocean currents, and strong tidal forces (which occur during full or new moon) can all cause high tide flooding.
✅High tide flooding falls into three levels of severity: minor, moderate, and major.
📍Concerns:
✅Tidal flooding disrupts daily life by flooding roads and services, damages infrastructure, and causes economic losses for businesses.
✅It accelerates coastal erosion, harms habitats, and contaminates freshwater supplies with saltwater.
✅Repeated flooding forces communities to relocate.
✅Over time, rising sea levels due to climate change will make tidal flooding more frequent and severe.

Cloudbursts occur only via orographic lift, i.e.,
a situation when a warm air parcel mixes with cooler air,
resulting in sudden condensation.
