Nepal to drain four glacial lakes after deadly floods
Original: Nepal plans to drain four glacial lakes after deadly floods
Nepal has announced plans to drain four glacial lakes in an effort to prevent further disasters, following deadly floods linked to glacial lake outbursts. The move reflects growing concern in the Himalayan nation about melting glaciers and the rising risk of sudden floods threatening downstream villages, infrastructure and hydropower projects.
Why now: Deadly floods have renewed attention on the growing danger of glacial lake outbursts in Nepal as glaciers melt faster in a warming climate.
