Studies Identify Multiple High-Risk Glacial Lakes in Indian Himalayas Amid Climate Concerns
Recent studies across the Indian Himalayan region have identified several glacial lakes at risk of Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs), with two lakes in Arunachal Pradesh classified as high risk and 36 as medium risk. Sikkim has assessed 16 high-risk lakes to enhance mitigation efforts, especially after recent floods. In Himachal Pradesh, nine to twelve lakes are deemed critical amid rapid lake expansion linked to glacial melting and environmental factors like tourism-induced pollution. Authorities emphasize monitoring and preparedness to address increasing GLOF threats due to climate change.
