As the water level at Attabad approaches the spillway, several people have asked that I reposrt the links to the report and presentation that I prepared after my field visit to the site in February. So here they are:
Report
Presentation (should also be viewable below)
This is the presentation that I gave to NDMA in Islamabad. It is the first time it has been freely available.
Thanks David for your continues effort and attention on the landslide affected areas and the dam itself. your report and presentation is the scientific evidence and guidance for the government of pakistan to learn some lessons from your great contribution.
ReplyDeletethough the lake is now in its final phase and the indications that now the government gives is same as you had indicated before in your report. Now it seems there is a huge risk of lake burst and today we heard from the local news that army is evacuating people from the downstream area due to the risks.
Dear Dr Dave
ReplyDeleteThanks for the presentation any chance you can show the whole set of slides which show area hights along the risk zone. I am concerned that some of the camps for evacuees may be being set up in areas of <60 metres height as per your map. I work in development and also have family in Gilgit - so would use them in making wise decisions personally and proffessionally
