Experts warn of high tidal wave in Hunza - ALERT! Dam-breaking doom!

How is that a tidal wave? More like a flood.

I guess what they mean is when the dam goes there will be a wave ahead of the flooding. "Tidal", however, is not the correct term for this as this has nothing to do with tides. But, I digress.

UPDATE:

High alert declared in Hunza



Updated at: 1455 PST, Sunday, May 23, 2010
HUNZA: The government declared high alert in Hunza and banned the entrance into the vacated villages in view of imminent threat of flood there, as the landslide-triggered Lake is on the surge to threatening level with melting glacier standing in collusion.

The situation is all the more hazardous as the gap between the spillway and the lake level has narrowed to six feet. The inflow at the Lake is 2600 cusecs and outflow is mediocre 200 cusecs causing the lake to have spread over 26-kilometer area.

The administration, holding the situation as highly hazardous, set May 25 as deadline for overflow from the Lake.

Meantime, government of Pakistan declared a high alert and imposed from today a prohibition on entering the vacated villages in view of potential threat of Lake burst or imminent flood.

Deputy Commissioner Hunza told, ‘Entering the vacated 32 villages in Hunza Nagar and Gilgit was already banned at night in view of imminent threat of flood; however, now the ban has been extended to be in force at daytime as well.’

He further said, ‘We have warned people and clear-cut advisory has been issued to them. If someone goes to the areas, he would be responsible for the loss he incurs.’

"God is Great!"

Now this is REAL. Not exagerated, but real.

Surprised it hasn't generated more comments.

Dam overtopping should occure tomorrow (tuesday) ... or Wed US time at the latest.

Dam failure is distinct possibility when that happens.

I wonder if this is the event foretold in Raging Wind Blackfoots prophecy? It would fit the timeline he laid out. The evet has to happen by June 15 I believe.

Thread: Walter Cronkite’s death is a time marker for cataclysmic events soon to follow!

It looks like the Dam overtopping has been pushed back to May 27 (already the 25th over there) since the lake pushed into some low lying areas flooding them and thus slowing the rise in the lake.

The lake is now about 10 feet below the level of the landslide "dam" and is 354 feet deep and 19 km long.

When overtopped the expectation is that the landslide dam WILL FAIL ... though it is an open question as to how fast the water will be released from the lake. If it is over 7 days the damage will be much less than if it is over 24 hours. Some models indicate that a 24 hour fast release could result in a wall of water up to 20 to 30 meters high in some narrow passages downriver.

ISLAMABAD (Agencies) – Hunza lake water entered into low-lying areas and inundated more villages in the areas on Monday, as experts have warned that the natural lake formed in wake of a landslide in Attabad is likely to overspill on May 27, as the overflow might submerge the low-lying areas. The gap between the spillway and the water level in the lake has increased to ten feet, reported a private news channel.

Deputy Commissioner Hunza, Zafar Waqar Taj said due to expansion of lake into Phissoo, the increase in water level had steadied.

The deputy commissioner said, “Entrance into the vacated 32 villages in Hunza Nagar and Gilgit was already banned at night in view of imminent threat of flood; however, now the ban has been extended to be in force at daytime as well.”
He said, “We have warned the people and a clear-cut advisory has been issued.”

The administration, holding the situation as highly hazardous, has set today (Tuesday), as the deadline for overflow from the lake.

Nespak and PWD engineered visited the region and handed over their assessment report to the local administration.
The government had earlier declared a high alert in Hunza and banned entrance into the vacated villages in view of threat flooding.

To tackle the situation, 30 relief camps have been established in which more than 30,000 people are being housed.

According to National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) Spokesman and Director General Operation Brig Sajid Naeem, the water level in the lake has reached 354 feet, which currently stands 2.5 metres below the spillway. “The lake is 354 feet deep and 19 km long, and the water level during the past 24 hours has risen by 1.57 feet,” he added.
Talking to a private TV channel, he said the rescue operation was in full swing and all preparations had been completed to cope with any untoward situation.

Sajid said a survey report had also been sent to the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa govt to make arrangements for any emergency in the low-lying areas of Shangla, Mansehra, Kala Dhaka and Kohistan.

He said around 14,000 affected people had so far been moved from the affected areas out of which about 10,000 have been housed in 31 camps with remaining 4,000 staying with their relatives.

Hunza lake expected to spill by May 28

The Chairman of the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), Retired Lt General Nadeem Ahmed said water outflow from the Hunza lake is expected to spill over on May 28.

According to the National Disaster Management Authority, 2050 cusecs water is entering the lake due to melting glaciers while the water release is 197 cusecs.

Landslides are also expected as the water level in the lake has increased to 3.1 feet in the last 24 hours.

The Hunza Deputy Commissioner Zafar Waqar Taj said that lake water had inundated low-lying areas and the rate of increase in the lake’s water level had been steady. People from the 32 flooded villages have been evacuated and are not allowed to go back. All downstream villages have been evacuated.

The government of Khyber-Pukhtunkhwa province has been asked by Pakistan’s National Disaster Management Authority to prepare for a possible emergency in the districts of Shangla, Mansehra, Kala Dhaka and Kohistan, downstream from the Hunza Nagar district.

The region is under threat from flooding from a lake that formed after a landslide. Villages in Hunza-Nagar are reported to have been flooded. According to the FOCUS Humanitarian Assistance NGO operating in the area, villages in the Kohistan district are under threat, with some 30,000 to 50,000 people possibly vulnerable. The district has a scattered population of about 500,000, according to official figures.

Meanwhile, a medical team sent by the Punjab government is also arriving in Hunza today, while air service stands operational to provide relief goods and food to the affectees.

once it overflows...erosion and undermining could be the real catalyst for a major release
