Sensor recorders are being installed in glaciers and lakes in Uttarakhand

After the Kedarnath Valley disaster, Wadia Institute of Himalayan Geology has started installing sensor recorders in all glaciers and nearby lakes of Uttarakhand. Work on 70% of the 329 lakes has been completed. Dr. Kalachand, director of the institute, says that it will be beneficial to install the sensor that as soon as the water level of the lake rises, cloudburst or avalanche occurs, the control room of the institute will get signals. The scientists would then immediately begin the process of ‘puncture’ the lake. There are 15,000 glaciers and 9 thousand lakes in the entire Himalayan region.​ Read full news…
