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.
