HIMALAYAN Tsunami
16/6/13
Causes of Flood
 Due to Continuous Rain the Chorabari Glacier
melted and this triggered the flooding of the
Mandakini river
 Which led to heavy floods near Gobindghat, Kedar
Dome, Rudraprayag district, Uttrakhand
 From 15 June 2013, Indian state of Uttrakhand and
near by are received heavy rainfall.
 The rainfall was above benchmark which is above
375 percent.
 A multi-day cloudburst ,centered on the state
Uttrakhand caused devastating floods and
landslides
Kedarnath Temple (Before Flood) Kedarnath Temple (After flood)
365 houses destroyed, 275 houses partially
damaged in Uttrakhand
608 villages, covering a population of 7 lakhs, in
23 districts of Uttar Pradesh were affected with
flood and As of 11 July 2013 more than 120 deaths
were reported from the state
 822 Deaths were occurred in flood. (Official estimation).
 1800 People were missing.
 2232 housings were damaged.
 154 Bridges were damaged.
 1520 Roads were damaged
MAJOR CAUSES OF
DESTRUCTION
 More than 220 power and mining projects are
running in 14 river valleys in Uttrakhand.
 Several rivers are being diverted through
tunnels for these projects leading to major
disasters in the state.
Deforestation is also one of the most important
factor of uttrakhand disaster, which cause
frequently landslide.
How this can be prevented in
future
 At present the area is only accessible by air and establishing
the narrow roads and the foot bridges will be crucial.
 Also barring the temple everything around remains in
shambles which needs restoration work and as hinted by the
Uttrakhand Chief Minister that it will take at least 2 years
(Approximately).
 The phenomenon known as Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFS) "are
capable of releasing billions of cubic meters of glacial water, stored for
decades, in a few short hours, or even in a matter of minutes
 This could have been prevented if the state government had heeded the
call to cease construction and encroachment on the riverbed.
 The New Delhi-based Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) has also
traced the link between the disaster and the manner in which
development has been carried out in this unique region.
 Acknowledging the economic importance of energy generation, CSE
Director-General, questions whether or not “the Central or state
government ever considered the cumulative impact of the hydropower
projects on the rivers and the mountains.”
 “Currently, there are roughly 70 projects built or (slated to be built) on the
Ganga, expected to generate some 10,000 megawatts (MW) of power
Global Warming = Melting
Glaciers = 'Himalayan Tsunamis'
