Abstract	AbstractNumerous glacial lakes are forming in high-altitude regions worldwide due to rise in temperature. Some of them may burst i.e. Glacier Lake Outburst Flood (GLOF) may occur causing loss of lives, properties and infrastructures in downstream areas. Thus, GLOF study is necessary to understand its threat and save or minimise the imminent losses. In the present study, the highest dangerous glacial lake of Dhauliganga basin in the Himalaya has been considered with a view to estimate the GLOF hydrograph just downstream of the lake and the routed GLOF hydrograph near Dhauliganga Stage-I Dam. The Glacial lake L2 (Latitude 30o26′45″ E and Longitude 80o23′16″ N) is the highest potentially dangerous lake, whose maximum surface area was 132,300 m2 acquired on 16 September 2009. GLOF has been simulated for Glacial lake L2 for its maximum volume 2 × 106 m3, by the model prepared with the help of hydraulic software such as HEC-RAS. Results by the model have been compared with the results got by the popular empiric...
