Hazards of erosion and sedimentation due to cloudburst in small catchments- a case study from Kumaun Himalaya, India. Record of Geological Survey of India 78, 74-78. This will be help in further research to prevention, mitigation and disaster risk reduction in near future. Additionally, better land use practices also described in the same by an example. Keeping all these things in mind, all known cloudburst events and their adverse impacts upon inhabitants of the area has been attempted to be compiled in the present study. For this, it is important to know the history of previous disastrous events and take a lesson from them and plan ahead. It is very important to know the risk of the area to reduce the impact of the disaster. In addition, human interventions in terms of construction of houses in instable mountainous slopes, over deep regolith and concentration of the streams/rivulets is enlarged the devastating potential of the disaster. So, inherent geology, deep regolith cover and high relief difference are more common in the area and the same increases the vulnerability. Being a geo-dynamically active young Himalayan belt, here the rocks are highly faulted, folded, jointed and fractured resulting in an excessive amount of mass movements and environmental degradations. However, it's a topic of detailed research to assess impact of climate change on extreme rainfall pattern. Change in climate due to Global warming is the major concern for these extreme events. It is not yet possible to find out, when and in which area the same events will be occurred, particularly in Uttarakhand region. The earlier disasters show that the growing outbreak of rains and its associated flash floods, debris flows and landslides are important reasons for damages and destructions. Every year, this causes massive loss of life, property, infrastructure, agricultural lands and other facilities. Hence The place is better not visited during monsoon.Although, the cloudburst occurs in the monsoon season but it may also happen in the pre-monsoon showers in Himalayan mountainous region of Uttarakhand sate. The risk of accidents on slick surfaces during the monsoon season is very high. As you travel farther, the routes and roads get more hazardous. During the rainy season, it is particularly difficult and dangerous to travel on the routes that go to Dronagiri due to frequent downpours and landslides.Īlmora in Uttarakhand is known for its alluring beauty, wildlife, culture and yummy cuisine. Adventure seekers come here mostly to enjoy the rush of trekking. The Dronagiri mountains in Uttarakhand is a place are tucked away at a height of 22,000 feet above sea level.
And now owing to the frequent cloudbursts in the state it is preferable to not visit this place.Īlso Read: Best Hill Stations In South India To Visit In September 4. The locals warn against travelling and visiting the falls during the monsoon because of the higher water levels. The falls are very popular among the tourists. The Corbett falls is near to the famous Jim Corbett National Park in Uttarakhand. With the assistance of the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) and police officers, the administration of the border town of Dharchula is managing rescue efforts on the ground. This place in Uttarakhand is located close to the Indo-Nepal border.It is in Pithoragarh district and is a tourist haven, but getting there right now can be dangerous.
