00:00In the Himalayan region of Uttarakhand, there are a lot of glacial lakes, which are considered

00:17as the ultimate source of water, but with time, these glacial lakes are becoming a problem.

00:25In Uttarakhand also, 13 glacial lakes are considered as the ultimate source of water,

00:29out of which 5 are extremely ultimate.

00:32In these ultimate lakes, Vasudhara glacial lake is also included,

00:36which has been studied and inspected by the team.

00:41So, the Wadi Institute of Himalayan Geology is also studying something on the satellite base,

00:45and along with that, Dr. Amit Kumar Walia and his team are involved,

00:49who went to different glaciers for physical verification.

00:52They also went to Basundhara Taal, and since 2021, the Wadi Institute has been monitoring Basundhara Taal.

01:00Now, the discussion is coming out that all the lakes in Uttarakhand,

01:04which are pro-glacial lakes, all the lakes in front of the glaciers,

01:08are expanding their area.

01:12Many important information has emerged in the study of Vasudhara glacial lake

01:16on the basis of which the size of Vasudhara glacial lake is increasing continuously.

01:20In these 53 years, the size of Vasudhara glacial lake has increased by approximately 421.42%.

01:26In addition to this, the amount of frozen water in Vasudhara glacial lake is also increasing continuously.

01:32The study of Vasudhara Taal, which we did on the satellite base,

01:36in 1968, we found that the amount of frozen water in Vasudhara glacial lake,

01:42which we did on the satellite base,

01:47in 1968, we found that the amount of frozen water

01:52in Vasudhara glacial lake,

01:57which we did on the satellite base,

02:02which we did on the satellite base,

02:07The area of the lake has increased.

02:10The main reason for the increase in the lake is that the glaciers behind it are retreating

02:17due to the retreating of the glaciers at a fast rate.

02:21These lakes need to be monitored in the future and any lake breach can occur in the future.

02:30Dr. Manish Mehta from Vadia Himalayan Geology Institute in Dehradun says that glaciers are

02:37more dangerous in the summer season.

02:40The lake identified during snowfall is above 4000 meters.

02:48In the winter season, the maximum temperature is minus and the maximum lakes are frozen.

02:57So it is not very dangerous in winter.

02:59But what happens in the summer period?

03:01There are two things in the summer period.

03:03One is that the glacier melts and then the snow in winter melts on it.

03:07And at the same time, there is a slight rainfall in that region,

03:10due to which the lake is filled and it is dangerous.

03:13That is, during the rainy season, the lake has a higher chance of breaking than in winter.

03:21Uttarakhand Water Authority Secretary Vinod Kumar Suman says that the glacier lakes in the state are safe

03:29and there is no danger.

03:31The Water Authority is continuously monitoring.

03:34Our lakes are completely safe.

03:36There is no danger.

03:38But it was said that our five lakes have been classified in the constitution.

03:43So it has been said that you study every year.

03:47When we got the information, it took a long time.

03:52We were able to conduct a survey of one lake, the Glacier Lake.

03:55Our team went there.

03:57The team has studied and the report is coming to us.

04:00We will work on the remaining four lakes from next year.

04:04It is not possible to go there at this time.

04:06Glacier lakes are at a high altitude.

04:08The Water Authority has formed a multidisciplinary team to monitor the five highly sensitive glacier lakes in Uttarakhand.

04:16Despite this, only one Glacier Lake, Vasudhara, has been able to be surveyed locally.

04:23While the year 2024 is about to pass, how long will these lakes be monitored?

04:30This is a big question.

04:32ETV Bharat ke liye Dehradun se Rohit Soni ki report.
