Which of the following best describes the primary and immediate impact of a glacial lake outburst flood (GLOF)?
Correct
Ans: A
Exp:
The Central Water Commission (CWC) has decided to review the design flood of all the existing and under construction dams vulnerable to Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs) to ensure their adequate spillway capacity for a combination of Probable Maximum Flood/Standard Probable Flood and GLOF.

GLOFs occur when a glacial lake’s dam or ice barrier fails, causing a rapid release of water.
Primary Causes: High temperatures contribute to glacier melting, but GLOFs can also be triggered by landslides or volcanic activity.
Geographical Prevalence: GLOFs are more common in high-altitude regions rather than low-altitude areas.
The primary and immediate impact of a GLOF includes:
Increased sedimentation in river systems.
Potential damage to downstream infrastructure due to the sudden and forceful release of water. Hence, option (a) is correct.
Loss of life and property: GLOFs can kill people, destroy houses, bridges, roads, forests, and farmland, as well as livestock and crops.
Biodiversity destruction: GLOFs can cause heavy destruction of flora and fauna in the areas of their occurrence.
