Nepal Flood: What Really Triggered the Disaster? Cloudburst, Glacier Avalanche or Dam Water Release?
What really caused the Nepal floods? Were they triggered by extreme rainfall, a cloudburst, glacier-related events, hydropower projects, dam water release, or a combination of factors?
In this podcast, we discuss the possible causes behind flooding in Nepal, the role of hydropower projects and Himalayan river systems, and what Nepal, India and Bhutan can do together to reduce future flood risks. The discussion also looks at the growing challenges faced by Himalayan countries from extreme rainfall, rapidly changing mountain environments, river management, infrastructure development and disaster preparedness. If you want to understand the Nepal flood disaster, Himalayan flood risks and the connection between hydropower development and floods, this conversation provides an important perspective.
