Debris in river could cause further flash flooding, report says
The International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD) has released a detailed assessment of what happened on Wednesday, when a major flash food caused devastation in Nepal and Tibet.
In it, experts warn of a secondary potential flooding event, as a result of the debris that washed into the river systems.
The experts cited in the report say they are in the process of assessing whether the Trishuli River has been temporarily blocked in narrow sections. If it has been blocked, it is at risk of forming a landslide dam - and a second flooding event.
Authorities and scientists are continuing to evaluate the size, location and stability of any potential blockages.
