China continues hydrological data exchange with Nepal
China continues to exchange hydrological information with Nepal to strengthen their capabilities in managing natural disaster risks, particularly concerning dammed lakes and glacial lakes that pose potential threats due to avalanches and mudslides. Following a high-altitude glacier collapse in Nepal that destroyed the Kyorong port and monitoring facilities, China emphasizes the importance of monitoring the region, which is characterized by rugged mountains, deep valleys, and numerous rivers and lakes. Currently, Chinese emergency teams are repairing damaged monitoring stations and establishing early warning systems, providing daily updates to Nepal on the risks of glacial lakes, the Turgyan River mouth, and developments related to dammed lakes, aiming to reduce loss of life and bolster rescue and disaster prevention efforts.
