On December 26th, 2004, a tsunamidevastates the coasts of the countries ofIndian Ocean as Indonesia, Malaysia, theThailand, India and even Somalia. Thebalance sheet mentions more than 250.000killed or missing persons. Material damageis considerable while all ecosystem coastalis corrupted. One year afterwards, social,economic and environmental consequencesof this major natural disaster are still veryhardly quantifiable. The UNO really thinksthat total damage could exceed the 10billion dollars. The hour is in thereconstruction of the places of life: houses,schools, hospitals but also hotels andrestaurants to restart vital tourist economyfor most the affected countries.

What impacts and which changes this rise of waters can have on directly concerned societies? In first place, it agrees de add that this elevation of level oceans is insensible (3,3 mm / novels) If prediction envisaged in the nineties an increase in see level in a fork from 9 to 88 cm for coming century, this fourchette in is reduced (20 - 60 cm for the fellow century, knowing that increase for XX ° century was 20 cm).
