Nepal – Trans boundary Disasters o A massive landslide blocked Landslide Sun Koshi river in Location Northern Nepal on 02-Aug-2014 o Possible

formation of a Nepal lake. Bihar, India o Flood threat for several villages downstream in Bihar, India. Landslides on Transboundary Rivers nrsc Sun Koshi River in Nepal

A landslide occurred on Sun Koshi river in Nepal on 2-Aug-14

Multi-temporal satellite data analysis shows the recession of the crown of the landslide

Water Impoundment was observed initially and in September, this impoundment was reduced due to human interventions through controlled blastings

Data helped Indian Govt. to work with Nepal Govt. in coordination/ avoiding major disaster in Bihar PreTask-event No: NEPAL/LS/2014/01 image nrsc

Plate No: August/06 Landslide on Sunkoshi river, Nepal (As seen from Resourcesat-2 LISS IV MX acquired on 5 Aug 2014)

• The landslide that blocked the Sunkoshi river, is a deep seated rockslide (length 1.3 km and width 0.652 km) resulting in formation of a dammed lake • The debris and boulders has blocked the river and moved Depletion zone onto the river terrace on the Landslide crown opposite bank. • Analysis of historical imagery shows that it is an unstable Depletion zone zone with existence of small landslides.
