Nepal flooding raises concerns about dams in the Himalayas
Following devastating floods in Nepal, experts are warning of risks associated with building dams and hydroelectric plants in the Himalayas—a region exceptionally prone to violent glacial floods. These investments offer great energy potential for the region's poor countries, but climate change is increasing the likelihood of extreme events. Scientists call for more thorough risk assessment before launching further hydroengineering projects.
