A possible link exists between Himalayan region construction lacking supervision and glacier melting and the occurrences of glacial lake bursting (GLOFs).

The construction activities without supervision that include building roads and mining sites and deforestation activities speed up glacier melting rates. These activities can:
-The process of construction generates black carbon emissions commonly referred to as soot while also causing its deposition to rise. The deposition of black carbon on snow and ice surfaces allows the absorption of solar radiation and quickens the melting process.
-Construction work that changes drainage patterns causes problems with meltwater movement and may create situations leading to GLOFs.
Desertification via slope destabilization occurs because construction activities create conditions that permit landslide and debris flow formations which ultimately generate GLOFs.

Glacial Lake Stability Effects:
-The construction process widens glacial lake sedimentation at a higher rate that gradually lifts the lake surface potentially leading to dam failure.
-The building process interrupts moraine dams which leads to their destabilization.
The disturbance of moraines that serve as natural lake dams leads to increased vulnerability for water dam ruptures which results in GLOFs.

The prevention of glacial lake outburst floods demands a multi-dimensional approach that requires three main solutions.

-A comprehensive set of environmental rules needs implementation to manage Himalayan building operations and decrease their ecological impacts.

-A strong surveillance system combined with GLOF prediction capabilities requires establishment to monitor glacial lakes.

-The preparation and reaction to disasters must receive enhanced support because it helps reduce the effects of GLOFs on local populations as well as infrastructure systems.

Economical development practices in the Himalayan region must become sustainable to prevent GLOF risks from increasing.
