Hydro-climatic extremes: trends, anomalies and implications for urban water management

ABSTRACT Assessing the trends and anomalies of hydro-climatic extremes for improving the urban water managment. Intensifying hydrological and climatic risks are threatening infrastructures and services; therefore, understanding anomalies in hydro-climatic extremes (HCE) is impera...

Machine-learning projections of groundwater storage under climate, land-use, and human-driven changes in Madhesh Province, Nepal

Groundwater is the primary source of water in Madhesh Province, Nepal, yet the province lacks a reliable forecasting framework. This study develops a provincial-scale groundwater forecasting system by integrating satellite-derived groundwater storage (GWS), machine learning, and...

The 2024 cascading glacial lake outburst flood in the Thame Valley of Everest region, Nepal: process, impacts and implications

Abstract. On the afternoon of 16 August 2024, a catastrophic flood devastated Thame Village in the Everest region of Nepal. This event resulted from a cascading glacial lake outburst flood (GLOF), where the outburst of an upstream glacial lake triggered the failure of a downstrea...

Forensic geotechnical–geophysical investigation of groundwater-driven recurrent slope failure along the Kali Gandaki Road corridor, Lesser Himalayas, Nepal

Recurrent slope failures along Himalayan Road corridors cause substantial infrastructure damage and loss of life, yet systematic forensic investigation of individual failure sites remains rare in Nepal. This study presents an integrated forensic geotechnical–geophysical investiga...
