Main Body
Human settlements due to rising population pressure and infrastructure creation. Defence infrastructure built by China (Xiaxeng villages). Laying of oil pipelines (eg Siaden base amp) & affects the fragility of system. Constant drilling in the crust for foundation of bridges, towers etc. Isostatic rebound enhances pressure over the glacial capacity to hold water. Shortening of water season, reduces the freezing of water. Solar minima cycle.
Conclusion
Thus, GLOF should be notified as a disaster under Disaster management to tackle it to enhance the disaster preparedness.
