Flood, Earthquakes and disasters
RASUWAGADHI FLOOD: GLOF Devastation
Despite the absence of rain that could have caused such a severe flood to destroy a recently constructed concrete building connecting Nepal and China, a sudden flash flood swept away everything in a matter of minutes, causing damage to four hydropower plants with a total capacity of 216 MW along the Trishuli River. The flood also washed away over a hundred vehicles parked in the customs yard, along with other goods, resulting in the death of 13 individuals and leaving 18 missing. Studies have indicated that the flood was triggered by a Glacier Lake Outburst Flood in China. Originating from the Chinese region of Xizang, formerly Tibet Autonomous Region, many rivers in Nepal are at high risk of such floods due to melting glaciers.
