Nepal continues to keep itself prepared for the upcoming flash floods which have devastated the country recently, as the water levels in the Bhotekoshi River are said to increase again.
Bhotekoshi River’s water level increases Again
The water level in the Bhotekoshi River has increased yet again, hence, Nepal‘s disaster management department issues another warning to those who live nearby and to the rescue teams working in affected areas. It is said that several regions in Nepal are now vulnerable to the occurrence of flash floods, and authorities warn about the possibility of increasing water levels in rivers and streams in several districts.
DON'T MISS
Thousands Remain Missing as Rescue Efforts Face Tough Conditions
As can be seen, the number of those missing is still very big more than 3,000 people are missing in Nepal and Tibet. It was reported that hundreds of people have died in catastrophic flash floods and mudslides. The efforts of rescue teams will probably help save more lives, although difficult terrain, damaged roads, and bad weather make the work of rescuers more complicated.
Rescue Teams Are Working in Hard Conditions
Now rescue teams are carrying out search and rescue operations in several flood-stricken areas, as well as areas where hundreds of workers are believed to be trapped inside hydropower tunnels. The first time when flood and debris waters washed over the region, several hundreds of workers and employees of several hydropower projects went missing.
Fresh Bhotekoshi Flood Threatens Nepal
The new rise of the Bhotekoshi water level becomes another problem for the authorities, who have to deal with the consequences of the disaster. Several areas in Nepal are put under the flash-flood alerts, while communities are told to keep themselves alert. Now authorities should monitor the situation, as well as the water levels in rivers and streams, and it is quite obvious that rescue teams will have to find thousands of people who are still missing now.
