Аннотация

Paper presents brief description of the potentially hazardous site in the Bhagirathi River Valley (Garhwal Himalaya) where geomorphic evidence of the deep-seated gravitational slope deformations (DSGSD) was found at the left-bank watershed about 15 km upstream from the Maneri dam. The preliminary analysis of the InSAR data revealed some indications of the ongoing slope movements. Presence of several very large rock slope failures at this section of the Bhagirathi River valley, some of which had blocked it completely in the past, demonstrate reliability of the scenario of the catastrophic large-scale failures able to create natural dam that could block the river. It highlights the necessity to arrange regular monitoring of the suspicious site and to elaborate the efficient preventive/mitigation measures aimed to ensure long-term safety of the entire Bhagirathi River valley.
