Growing Risks of GLOF in Sikkim

Growing Risks of Glacial Lake Outburst Floods in the Himalayas
An international study raises alarms about the rising risk of Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs) as more hydropower projects are developed near Himalayan glacier lakes. The 2023 Teesta III disaster highlighted the vulnerability of infrastructure to climate change. Experts urge stronger monitoring, early warning systems, and resilient infrastructure to protect communities from future GLOFs. Safety measures are crucial for sustainable hydropower development in the Himalayas.
