In recent years, the vicissitudes wrought by harsh weather patterns and natural disasters have resulted in hurricanes and earthquakes and had a catastrophic impact on people's lives. The Ganges River Corridor in northern India is a region that perennially undergoes extreme changes in weather and climate with the onslaught of the monsoon season. Anthony Acciavatti , in his Dynamic Atlas series of drawings, has measured the effects of rainfall and agrarian processes in relation to the fast‐paced modes of urbanisation in the area.
