Q

Himalayas water management

A

Due to its physical setting, the HKH region is prone to various water-induced hazards (e.g., landslides, floods, glacial lake outburst floods, and droughts)

. Effective flood management requires sharing data and information between the upstream and downstream areas, not only within the country, but also at the trans boundary level. Technological innovations based on satellite information, in combination with ground-based data, can be transformed into information that can prove vital in saving lives and properties.
