Satellite-based real-time monitoring of Himalayan glacial catchments would improve understanding of flood risk in the region and help inform an early flood warning system that could help curb disaster and save human lives, according to a recent study. This should be the future strategy to reduce loss of human lives during glacial lake outburst floods (GLOF), said the study carried out by scientists from IIT Kanpur.
