Assessment of Flooding Hazards & Development of Climate-Resilient Flood Mitigation Measures at Shetikheri and Aiepoly (big & small) stream
CEGIS conducted a detailed hydrological, geotechnical and catchment management study to formulate long term climate resilient, flood adaptation measures along the Shetekheri and the Aiepoly streams in Gelephu, Sarpang Dzongkhag. CEGIS assessed the flooding/debris flow risks and its impact on land use especially on critical catchment areas, agricultural and forest land, settlement and public infrastructures, carried out socio-economic impact study on people, land and properties that could be protected from the flood hazard and estimated the benefits that could be generated if the climate resilient measures are put in place – alleviation of poverty in the affected area, reclamation of public and private land, viability of economic activities in the area.
