Rapidly growing Himalayan lake could potentially unleash deadly GLOF, say scientists
Using hydrodynamic simulations, the researchers modelled a worst-case scenario of a sudden moraine-dam breach. The results presented a disturbing picture -- a GLOF could discharge up to 3,645 cubic metres of water per second, with flow velocities exceeding 30 m/s in upper reaches.
