Main Body
Factors contributing to rising incidents of GLOFs in Himalaya
1global tempadate rise leading to glacial retreat eg Venezuela lost all of its glaciers completely
2increasing glacial melting due climate change eg Teraj day collapse in 2022
3cloud bud events becoming frequent eg south Lhonak Lake induced GLOF in july 2023
4human activities along Glacial vales reducing structural stability.
5poor planning and management of hydropower plants along glacial lakes eg 200 + lakes valuable to GLOFs in Himalayan (IGMOD)
Measures to mitigate GLOFs
1assessment of glacial lake and vulnerability eg IIT Delhi studied and created vulnerability map—
2[illegible] mitigating climate change induced impact on glacis eg UN climate year as year of initiating glacial preservation
3Sustainable management in Himalayas eg NAPCC have National Mission on sustaining himalayan ecology
