A catastrophic debris flow (not, as widely reported, a flood) has struck the village of Tharali in Uttarkashi, northern India. The video is truly terrifying. Very initial reports suggest there have been four confirmed fatalities and about 50 people may be missing.

Extreme river flood exposes latent erosion risk - Nature Nature - Extreme river flood exposes latent erosion risk

๐ŸŒŠ Big flood, deeper danger

A huge 2021 flood in the Meuse River carved deep holes (over 15 metres) into the riverbed. A new study shows this was made worse by past changes to the river and hidden soft layers underground.

Englandโ€™s water crisis needs more than just new reservoirs โ€“ hereโ€™s what will help The changing climate and growing population means England is facing a water crisis.

It's going to take more than a couple of new reservoirs to prevent the UK's coming water crisis, writes hydrologist @hancloke.bsky.social - we need to rethink how we build homes & communities to avoid a future of alternating flood & drought:
