(1/4) #Floods are becoming frequent in Himalaya, particularly in the NW #Himalaya that has been related to the increasing impact of changing #climate

#Uttarakhand, NW #Himalaya has witnessed 2 major flood events in the last decade that killed >6000 people. This study is an attempt to explore the impact of potential flood on river bank slopes in Uttarakhand. (2/4)
We found that #slope material at the exposed #fluvial sequence and slope toe might displace forward ~0.12-0.4 m The potential #debris #flow from the slope may impact the retaining wall, supporting the slope, with a #pressure up to 150 k Pa. (3/4)
The potential #flood may strike the river bank with a velocity and stream power of 10±2 m/s and 0.2±0.1M N/m-s, respectively, which is about three times higher than the approximated resistance of the retaining wall. (4/4)
