Irrawaddy Delta (original) (raw)
The Irrawaddy Delta or Ayeyarwady Delta lies in the Irrawaddy Division, the lowest expanse of land in Myanmar that fans out from the limit of tidal influence at Myan Aung to the Bay of Bengal and Andaman Sea, 290 kilometres (180 mi) to the south at the mouth of the Ayeyarwady River. The delta region is densely populated, and plays a dominant role in the cultivation of rice in rich alluvial soil as low as just 3 metres (9.8 ft) above sea level, although it also includes fishing communities in a vast area full of rivers and streams. On 2 May 2008, the delta suffered a major disaster, devastated by Cyclone Nargis, which reportedly killed at least 77,000 people with over 55,900 missing, and left about 2.5 million homeless.

| dbo:abstract | Το Δέλτα του Ιραουάντι ή Δέλτα του Αγιεγιαρουάντι βρίσκεται στην διαίρεση Ιραουάντι, τη χαμηλότερη έκταση γης της Μιανμάρ όπου βρίσκεται έξω από το όριο της παλιρροιακής επιρροής στο Μιαν Αούνγκ προς τον Κόλπο της Βεγγάλης και της Θάλασσας Ανταμάν, 290 χλμ. νότια από τις εκβολές του στο ποταμό Αγιεγιαρούνατι. Η περιοχή του δέλτα είναι πυκνοκατοικημένη, και παίζει κυρίαρχο ρόλο στην καλλιέργεια του ρυζιού στο πλούσιο προσχωσιγενή έδαφος καθώς βρίσκεται ακόμη και 3 μέτρα πάνω από το επίπεδο της θάλασσας, αν και περιλαμβάνει επίσης αλιευτικές κοινότητες σε μια τεράστια περιοχή γεμάτη από ποτάμια και ρέματα. Στις 2 Μαΐου 2008, το δέλτα υπέστη μια μεγάλη καταστροφή, καθώς επλήγη από τον Κυκλώνα Ναργκίς, ο οποίος φέρεται να σκότωσε τουλάχιστον 77.000 ανθρώπους με πάνω από 55.900 αγνοούμενους και άφησε περίπου 2.5 εκατομμύρια άστεγους.

(en) Il Delta dell'Irrawaddy è la grande foce dell'Irrawaddy, il più importante fiume della Birmania. Il delta forma una penisola nel mare delle Andamane, situata fra il golfo del Bengala ed il golfo di Martaban, e copre una superficie di circa 35.000 km², dove vivono oltre 6 milioni di abitanti. Sul territorio del delta è stata istituita la divisione dell'Irrawaddy, la più popolata della Birmania. La città più grande della zona è Pathein (Bassein). Zona molto calda (specialmente in estate) e piovosa, con precipitazioni comprese tra i 1.500 ed i 3.500 mm annui, è intensamente utilizzata per la coltivazione del riso, di cui la Birmania è tra i maggiori produttori mondiali. Due terzi dell'area è utilizzata per la coltivazione e il rendimento medio del terreno è di 1.500-2.000 kg ad ettaro. Nel 2008, le zone del delta sono state devastate dal passaggio del ciclone Nargis, che ha provocato la perdita di oltre 100.000 vite umane. (it) Delta Irawadi – delta rzeki Irawadi leżąca w Mjanmie, na terenie prowincji Irawadi. Jest to najniżej położony teren Mjanmy, zajmujący obszar od górnej granicy oddziaływania pływów na wysokości do Zatoki Bengalskiej i Morza Andamańskiego 290 km na południe, u ujścia rzeki Irawadi. Rejon delty jest gęsto zamieszkany i, dzięki żyznej aluwialnej glebie, odgrywa dominującą rolę w uprawie ryżu prowadzonej jeszcze nawet na poziomie 3 m nad poziomem morza. Obszar delty zamieszkują też społeczności rybackie wykorzystujące olbrzymi teren pełen rzek i strumieni. 2 maja 2008 r. mieszkańcy delty doświadczyli potężnej katastrofy w postaci niszczycielskiego cyklonu Nargis który, według części źródeł, spowodował śmierć ponad 77 000 osób i zaginięcie dalszych 55 900, a około 2,5 mln ludzi pozostawił bez dachu nad głową.
