- Nepalese authorities have warned that a newly formed glacial lake, called 'Lake Two', in the Rasuwa region is steadily filling with water and could burst.
- According to senior hydrologist Binod Parajuli, citing Chinese water ministry data, about 650,000 cubic metres of water had accumulated in the lake by 31 August.
- The lake, located at around 4,000 metres on the western slopes of Langtang Lirung, is about three times smaller than the lake that burst on 30 August, but officials say a breach could turn downstream streams into large flows.
- Rescue teams, especially workers in hydropower project tunnels and those searching for the dead and missing, have been advised to stay alert.
What to watch next
- Whether the lake continues to fill and by how much, based on updated Chinese monitoring data
- Safety of workers in hydropower tunnels and search teams downstream if the lake breaches
- Risk of further landslides in the avalanche-affected area and their downstream impacts
