GW : warming of himalayas may lead to flood

·


According to the recent studies it has been found that the temperature in the himalayan region is constantly increasing since the last few years. This may lead to a warming of the himalayan ice nd glaciers. It has been predicted that the melting of glaciers may lead to the overflow of 40 himalayan lakes.
The local temperature of himalayan region is found to be 1 deg celcius more than what it was in 1970s. Almost 20 lakes in Nepal and 24 in Bhutan have become more dangerous and they are expected to grab their banks within 5 to 10 years.
This melting of himalayas is really to worry about as this can ultimately lead to the drying of all the freshwater systems and rivers.
