Last year, it was the Uttarakhand disaster. He says there is no technology which can predict flood-causing rains well in advance.
But our weather models cannot forecast the extent," says Singh. Kashmir does not have any doppler radar except in Anantnag for the annual Amarnath yatra that pilgrims undertake on foot.
Singh says Kashmir needs three doppler radars. If a proper management is put in place, then people can be warned and evacuated beforehand.
Gupta says another issue that Himalayan states face today is of encroachment on the rivers. If a river's capacity is reduced to per cent, then the rest of the water in monsoon season will turn into floods," he points out. But it is yet to take off. Chaudhury, A. Working paper no.

Smith, M. Despite their formidable and awe inspiring physicality, these are some of the most fragile habitats on the planet.
Harsh climates, thin soils and steep gradient make it so very hard for plants and animals to live here. Relatively small changes or unexpected events such as unusually heavy rains, earth tremors, or over exploitation of land, can give rise to major physical events such as land slides and flash floods, bringing havoc to people, biodiversity and the mountain environment itself.
As the water towers of our world, mountains store and deliver water to the rivers on which all our lives depend. But their environments are fragile and can be easily damaged by natural and particularly human impacts.
We work with the people who live there, to protect and conserve the vital ecological services that mountains provide our planet. As mountain forests and vegetation are lost to make way for homes or farmland, the wildlife in mountains can struggle to survive.
Changes in land use can have a big impact on fragile environments - for example, farming practices on steep slopes often mean forest loss and can cause landslides and increased run-off, unless very well implemented like using terrace farming methods.
