[My sincere thoughts to those on those the Nepal/Tibet border so very effected by the recent GLOF-style flooding; the loss of your family and friends – and ‘things’ – must be so very hard!
May the missing individuals return safely. 🙏]

“What happens when communities face 'too much water' during the monsoon and 'too little water' during the dry season? [Their] research in Dudhauli and Siraha municipalities [Nepal] shows that floods and droughts are not merely environmental challenges; rather, they interact with existing inequalities and vulnerabilities, intensifying conflicts over water and land resources.
From upstream-downstream tensions following flood damage and changing water flows to competition over wells and handpumps during periods of scarcity, the findings show that hydro-climatic extremes often act as amplifiers of existing social, economic, and political vulnerabilities.
The study underscores the importance of moving beyond managing climatic hazards alone towards conflict-sensitive and equitable water governance that addresses structural inequalities, strengthens local adaptive capacities, and supports fair water allocation and conflict resolution…”

"KEY POINTS
• BURGER is the first global IDF data set derived from observations of sub-daily rainfall
• Sub-daily rainfall intensities are computed with the Simplified Metastatistical Extreme Value (SMEV) approach for a range of return periods
• BURGER intensities compare well with expected intensities, indicated by an interquartile range of the percentage bias between −5% and 5%..”
