Nepal, China Warn of Fresh Flood Risks With Lakes Threatening to Burst

Nepal and China both warned on Thursday of fresh risks of flooding in the Himalayas as two lakes that have developed on either side of their border threaten to burst in a region still grappling with this week’s catastrophic flood. Nepal’s disaster authority issued a notice warning that a lake formed by debris blocking a river at the flood site is rising and at risk of bursting, urging residents of lower banks, passengers and rescuers to stay away from river banks and risky areas. China warned that 3 million cubic meters of water—about 1,200 Olympic swimming pools—are expected to flow into an already dammed lake on its side of the border over the next three days, creating a high risk of a breach, with peak flow expected around September 1.
