Thanks you all. Dhruba Gautam Ram Bhattarai Maitri Management and Development Consultancy Pvt. Ltd Page 3 CFGORRP CBEWS REPORT Executive summary Community-Based Flood and Glacial Lake Outburst Risk Reduction Project (CFGORRP), aims to reduce the human and material losses from GLOFs in Solukhumbu District and catastrophic flooding events in the Terai and Churia Range through community-based EWSs (CBEWSs). The project covers 11 VDCs of five river basins of five project districts. This study requires supplementary information and data to identify the available knowledge base and constraints for the successful implementation of community based early warning systems (CBEWSs). A detailed socio-economic and technical study with effective analysis will serve as a comprehensive review of CBEWS. Similarly, specific local needs and constraints are to be identified for the implementation of CBEWSs in up- and downstream communities. The main objectives of this study are to identify cost-effective and sustainable CBEWSs for GLOFs in Solukhumbu, and to identify cost-effective and sustainable CBEWSs for floods in the Terai plains. This study is based on fieldwork and consultations with stakeholders at the macro and micro levels in the project communities. As suggested by UN/ISDR (2006) an ESW covers major four components: (i) Risk Knowledge, (ii) Monitoring and Observation, (iii) Communication and Dissemination, and (iv) Response Capacity. To be effective, an EWS must incorporate all four components and all must be equally strong. Project documents and relevant literature were reviewed before preparing checklists and guidelines for the fieldwork. Appropriate tools and guide questions in the form of checklists were designed to elicit from project stakeholders and beneficiaries the needs for and constraints on the implementation of CBEWSs. To ascertain what the residents near the watershed under study think about the constraints and need of EWS, a quantitative analysis was conducted using a semi-structured survey of 192 respondents. The study team undertook gap analysis of technical and socio-economic aspects and identified the needs and constraints such as challenges, practical issues, and precautionary measures for implementing a cost-effective and workable CBEWS. An EWS reduces vulnerability by providing individual and communities with information, but they still need to act upon that information in a timely and appropriate manner to avoid GLOF- and flood-related risks. Several constraints and challenges constrain the functionality of an EWS. About 72% of the respondents in Namche VDC said that absence or minimal presence of risk reduction initiatives is the main reason for limited risk knowledge, an opinion which 65% of respondents in Chaurikharkha and 43% of respondents in Khumjung VDCs concurred with. About 32% of respondents in Khumjung VDC identified the failure of indigenous knowledge as another constraint and about 10% of respondents from the same VDCs gave no opinion. In the view of 11-15% of the respondents from the three study VDCs, poor knowledge about hazards and their nature is also a reason for limited risk knowledge. In the Terai, about two-thirds of respondents in Sarpallo and Didhawa VDCs identified minimal risk reduction initiatives as a reason for limited risk knowledge. Limited knowledge about hazards and their nature and the failure of indigenous knowledge were the second and third most commonly cited reasons respectively. About 9% of respondents in Pakri VDC said that they did not know the reason for limited risk knowledge. People have poor knowledge about and understanding of hazards and their efforts are focused on hazard management rather than vulnerability reduction. EWSs established in the past were neither functional nor sustainable. Major constraints were increased likelihood of hazard occurrence, difficulty for people to think about risks and risk reduction initiatives, absence of risk reduction plans, minimal community involvement in risk reduction initiatives and failure of prediction of indigenous knowledge. Page 4 CFGORRP CBEWS REPORT Monitoring and observation provide the data and information that are key to effective EWS. No study watershed has established systematic procedures for data collection or analysis. In terms of constraints related to monitoring and observation, about 70% of respondents in Khumjung and 54% of respondents in Namche VDC opined that ‘technologies are not cost- effective’ but 56% of respondents in Chaurikharka gave as the reason ‘poor linkage between upstream and downstream points’ and 23% said the absence of observation stations was the key constraint. About 7% of respondents in Khumjung VDC had no idea why monitoring and observation was poor. In the Terai, more than two-thirds of respondents in Jogidaha, Tulsipur, Hadiya, Pakri and Didhawa VDCs said that the main constraint was poor upstream- downstream linkages. The absence of observation stations was the second most prevalent constraint. Roughly one-tenth or fewer respondents named expensive technologies as a constraint. Other major limitations included absence of observation stations, safety issue of apparatus, technologies are not cost-effective and there is poor linkage between upstream and downstream points. Communication and dissemination-related constraints and challenges are discussed in the subsequent chapters. In both the

  • Thermal and Physical Investigations Into Lake Deepening Processes on Spillway Lake, Ngozumpa Glacier, Nepal
    water Article Thermal and Physical Investigations into Lake Deepening Processes on Spillway Lake, Ngozumpa Glacier, Nepal Ulyana Nadia Horodyskyj Science in the Wild, 40 S 35th St. Boulder, CO 80305, USA; [email protected] Academic Editors: Daene C. McKinney and Alton C. Byers Received: 15 March 2017; Accepted: 15 May 2017; Published: 22 May 2017 Abstract: This paper investigates physical processes in the four sub-basins of Ngozumpa glacier’s terminal Spillway Lake for the period 2012–2014 in order to characterize lake deepening and mass transfer processes. Quantifying the growth and deepening of this terminal lake is important given its close vicinity to Sherpa villages down-valley. To this end, the following are examined: annual, daily and hourly temperature variations in the water column, vertical turbidity variations and water level changes and map lake floor sediment properties and lake floor structure using open water side-scan sonar transects. Roughness and hardness maps from sonar returns reveal lake floor substrates ranging from mud, to rocky debris and, in places, bare ice. Heat conduction equations using annual lake bottom temperatures and sediment properties are used to calculate bottom ice melt rates (lake floor deepening) for 0.01 to 1-m debris thicknesses. In areas of rapid deepening, where low mean bottom temperatures prevail, thin debris cover or bare ice is present. This finding is consistent with previously reported localized regions of lake deepening and is useful in predicting future deepening. Keywords: glacier; lake; flood; melting; Nepal; Himalaya; Sherpas 1. Introduction Since the 1950s, many debris-covered glaciers in the Nepalese Himalaya have developed large terminal moraine-dammed supraglacial lakes [1], which grow through expansion and deepening on the surface of a glacier [2–4].

  • Changes of Glaciation in the Sagarmatha National Park (Nepal) During the Last 30 Years
    Landform Analysis, Vol. 10: 85–94 (2009) Changes of glaciation in the Sagarmatha National Park (Nepal) during the last 30 years Rudolf Midriak* Matej Bel University, Institute of Science and Research, Research Institute of Landscape and Regions, Cesta na amfiteáter 1, 974 01 Banská Bystrica, Slovak Republic Abstract: Author, as a scientific participant of the first Czech-Slovak Expedition to the Mt. Everest in 1984, focuses on the glaciation in the Sagarmatha National Park (the Central Himalayas, Nepal) in 1978 (Fig. 1 and Table 1) and compares it with the present-day state. Despite overwhelming majority of the papers bearing data on the fastest retreat of the Mt. Everest’s glaciers it can be stated that obvious changes of the covering glaciers were not recorded in the Sagarmatha National Park (34.2% in the year of 1978 and 39.8% in the year of 2009). At present, for 59 sections of 18 valley glaciers (Nangpa, Melung, Lunag, Chhule, Sumna, Langmoche, Ngozumpa, Gyubanar, Lungsampa, Khumbu, Lobuche, Changri Shar, Imja, Nuptse, Lhotse Nup, Lhotse, Lhotse Shar and Ama Dablam) their length of retreat during 30 years was recorded: at 5 sections from 267 m to 1,804m (the width of retreat on 24sections being from 1 m to 224m), while for 7 sections an increase in length from 12 m to 741m was noted (the increase of glacier width at 23 sections being from 1 m to 198 m). More important than changes in length and/or width of valley glaciers are both the depletion of ice mass and an intensive growth of the number lakes: small supraglacial ponds, as well as dam moraine lakes situated below the snowline (289 lakes compared to 165 lakes in the year of 1978).

Byers2, 4 [1] {Center for Research in Water Resources, University of Texas at Austin, Austin, Texas, USA} 5 [2] {The Mountain Institute, Washington DC, USA} 6 Correspondence to: D. McKinney ([email protected]) 7 8 Abstract 9 Imja Tsho, located in the Sagarmatha (Everest) National Park of Nepal, is one of the most 10 studied and rapidly growing lakes in the Himalayan range. Compared with previous studies, the 11 results of our sonar bathymetric survey conducted in September of 2012 suggest that its 12 maximum depth has increased from 90.5 m to 116.3±5.2 m since 2002, and that its estimated 13 volume has grown from 35.8±0.7 million m3 to 61.7±3.7 million m3. Most of the expansion of 14 the lake in recent years has taken place in the glacier terminus-lake interface on the eastern end 15 of the lake, with the glacier receding at about 52.1 m yr-1 and the lake expanding in area by 0.038 16 km2 yr-1. A ground penetrating radar survey of the Imja-Lhotse Shar glacier just behind the 17 glacier terminus shows that the ice is over 200 m in the center of the glacier. The volume of 18 water that could be released from the lake in the event of a breach in the damming moraine on 19 the western end of the lake has increased to 34.1±1.08 million m3 from 21 million m3 estimated 20 in 2002.
