Main Body

Global warming accelerates the glacial melting that causes floods. Increased and erratic precipitation in the form of snowfall leads to a positive feedback loop. Anthropogenic factors include increased carbon emission and pollution impacts on global warming. Rivers bed siltation causes increased vulnerability to floods (Kedarnath floods example). Hazard expansion of human settlement reduces carrying capacity of areas, leading to degrading floods. Insufficient drainage systems contribute to flooding. Temperature inversion phenomenon accelerates glacial melting. The Mishra committee recommendation was presented for tackling GLoFs in Himachal regions.
