The Uttarakhand State Disaster Management Authority (USDMA) is embarking on an extensive study aimed at monitoring glacial lakes, with particular emphasis on those classified as high risk. A recent meeting, presided over by the Secretary for Disaster Management and Rehabilitation, Vinod Kumar Suman, underscored the necessity for the adoption of advanced technologies, such as water level sensors and thermal imaging, to facilitate real-time monitoring of these lakes. The study will evaluate essential characteristics of the lakes, including their depth, width, and volume. Furthermore, an early warning system will be established to detect potential hazards. Surveys are planned for five high-risk lakes, along with an increased focus on research pertaining to sediment deposits and the application of remote sensing technology.
