• Generation and Analysis of the data of selected region of Western Himalaya to identify the potentially dangerous and vulnerable glacial lakes susceptible to outburst and predict the consequences of the GLOF.

• To define conditions of glacial lakes, moraine dams associated with mother glaciers attributing those with topographic features around lakes/moraine dams.

• To define geometrical parameters (spread area, depth and volume of water etc) of the vulnerable lakes and their further examination and analysis to estimate the scale and size of the GLOF hazard.

• To apply dam breach model on dangerous lake and study the affect of GLOF at downstream.

• To identify the vulnerable locations downstream where GLOF can create disaster and assess the scale of disaster and prepare the road map for prevention, warning, mitigation, rescue etc.

 

•A detailed analytical report on a selected region of Western Himalaya (based on data available) with details of probable potentially dangerous and vulnerable glacial lakes susceptible to outburst and predict the consequences of the GLOF. The report will also highlight the conditions of glacial lakes, moraine dams associated with mother glaciers, geometrical parameters and their analysis to estimate the scale and size of the GLOF hazard. (b) Dam breach model analysis on dangerous lake and the likely affect of certain selected GLOF downstream.

• An inventory of glaciers and glacial lakes

• Flood maps due to outburst and

• Early warning system with a road map for prevention, early warning, mitigation, rescue etc.
