ISRO's satellite imagery spanning over four decades shows a significant 178% growth of the Gepang Gath glacial lake in Himachal Pradesh, expanding from 36.49 to 101.30 hectares by 2022. ISRO cautions about an annual increase of 1.96 hectares, indicating increased risk levels. Glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) pose a threat to communities downstream, triggered by natural dam failures resulting from factors such as avalanches and extreme weather conditions. Recent GLOFs in Sikkim have led to severe flooding, causing damage to infrastructure and sparking concerns about potential future occurrences.
