Reasons Behind The Ashford Settlement

By April Briggs


In most cases, a certain group of people are community is likely to occupy a certain location for generations. Some occurrences may take place that force such communities to vacate or be moved from such regions by all means. Most of these causes are natural and cannot be prevented despite all the measures that could have been put in place. Among the reasons that would result to Ashford settlement are looked into below.

Structures in a certain area may have existed for a very long period of time. There comes a time when they can no longer be dwelt on due to weakening of their foundation resulting to alarming cracks on the wall. Poor construction may also been done when putting up a building leading to collapse within a short period of time. Such occurrences have to be averted in all means possible and the affected settled in a more secure region.

Due to ground instability, there may arise cases of collapse of underground openings such as caves and mines. Among the activities that take place in a given region could be mining by use of heavy machinery. The vibration they cause on the depth of the mines is likely to mess with ground stability. This results to many openings occurring naturally which could be very dangerous to those living in such a region.

Underground erosion has some effects associated with it. If there is a lot of underground water, the soil found in the depth of these water is eroded leading to sink holes. A sink hole is not restricted to a certain area and can occur in any given place. They end up destroying and sinking the infrastructure on the affected regions.

Humans have been involved in so many production activities. Most of these works are carried out in industries where certain chemicals are used. The industries end up emitting toxic substances to the environment which could be harmful. Accidents such as chemical spills can take place and the affected people or regions have to be vacated to other areas until the mess is cleared up.

Landslides are very dangerous when they occur. They destroy a lot of properties and results to many lives been lost. In the recent times, they are even taking places in regions where they have never been witnessed. They render places that they occur inhabitable and the affected have to get evacuated to other secure areas.

Floods have also seen many being provided with new living places to contain them. They are common in areas that lie within the sea level. Floods are so destructive and are accompanied with other calamities such as drought and disease outbreaks. They have to be dealt with in the best way possible to ensure that no critical damage is witnessed whenever they occur.

There are some natural calamities that are very to occur but require to be effectively handled whenever they take place. They include earthquakes. A high magnitude earthquake can be so destructive and is not likely to leave any structure on its feet. Settlement is carried to provide the affected with new living places.
