250 engineering structures being built to mitigate impacts of GLOFs National May 20, 2021 Islamabad: The government is developing 250 engineering structures including dams, ponds, spillways, and drainage systems to reduce the risk of floods under a multi-billion project Scaling-up of Glacial Lake Outburst Flood (GLOF) risk reduction in Northern Pakistan. According to the details, the climate change ministry is also coordinating with the Gilgit-Baltistan government and they are using Digital Terrain Model (DTM) to calculate the glacial lake volume to develop GLOF simulation to anticipate downstream risk. The details revealed that both of them are also making concerted efforts to develop disaster management policies and install weather monitoring stations, flood gauges, hydrological modelling, and early warning systems to enhance the ability to respond rapidly to flood scenarios.
