The authorities are legally bound to cover the life and good of those under their guardianship.

Mullaperiyar Dam
•The Mullaperiyar levee is 126 years old and a masonry graveness levee situated on the Periyar river, which forms part of Idukki district in Kerala state. However it is operated and maintained by Tamil Nadu under a unique parcel agreement signed in the year 1886, during the British rule. The levee primarily functions to divert water for irrigation and generating power to Tamil Nadu, acting as a lifeline for the growers belonging to five southern sections of Tamil Nadu.
•The levee has been a long-standing point of contention between Kerala and Tamil Nadu. Kerala has expressed enterprises about the levee's safety due to its age and seismic exertion in the region, arguing for a new levee to be erected. Tamil Nadu, still, maintains that the levee is structurally sound, especially after recuperation workshop, and opposes any plans to replace it as this could affect its water rights.
•While colorful expert panels and the Supreme Court have grappled over the safety of the levee, the water position remains a contentious matter. The Supreme Court in 2014 granted Tamil Nadu the liberty to maintain the water position at 142 bases, though Kerala wants it lowered for safety. The management of the levee is covered with colourful panels and remains one of the major interstate water disputes in India, balancing Tamil Nadu's water needs with Kerala's safety enterprises.
Amazon Forest
•The Amazon is Earth's largest rainforest, covering roughly 5.5 million square kilometers across nine countries in South America, with Brazil containing about 60 of it. This vast ecosystem is frequently called the" lungs of the Earth" because it produces about 20 of the world's oxygen and plays a pivotal part in global climate regulation by storing massive quantities of carbon dioxide and maintaining downfall patterns.
•The Amazon is unmatched in biodiversity, hosting approximately 10 of all species known to exist on Earth. It houses millions of factory and beast species, many of which are still undiscovered, including over 40,000 factory species, 1,300 raspberry species, 430 mammals, and countless insects. The timber also hosts multitudes of indigenous communities who have lived there for thousands of times, conserving traditional knowledge and artistic practices.
•This has brought tremendous pitfalls to the rainforest system. Deforestation of this rain forest, in most ways, is prompted by cattle ranching, soybean husbandry, mining, and illegal logging. Scientists think the Amazon approaches a critical point at which the biome will transform from the lush cover to a dry champaign at which point extensive volumes of held carbon will melt down, advance climate change drastically, and eradicate gigantic percentages of organisms found originally and climate-wise.
