Attabad landslide report
Posted by Dave Petley
The report that I wrote about the Attabad landslide as a result of my recent visit to the site is now available. You should be able to download it here:

Just briefly read what is an excellent report. I wonder if a controlled outburst was allowed with another dam downstream south of Gilgit diverting some of the water off into the dry mainly barren land there, with some form of herring bone seepage channels would limit sedimentation at Tarbela and damage on the way there.apologies for my frankness. Of course evacuation plans would also be necessary.Eddie an amateur geographer with a love for Hunzawww.himalayanskysafaris.com
Very nice summary and recommendations. I wonder why no seismic scenarios are considered in the report?Regards,Matthias
