I sent an email to Kate asking if a large siphon might be a possible way to lower the lake level and thus reduce the pressure on the moraiine dam? Here in California when the old miners wanted to mine a section of streambed that was submerged in a few cases they built flumes to carry the stream around the area they wanted to mine. Are either of these ideas at all practical for what you are facing at Imja Lake? Good Luck and God blessyou
Jim Voss.

Having worked on three community/environment development projects in the Himalayan region, I have positive memories of cups of tea and conversations with local community members being the beginning of those ‘voices’ being heard, then being noticed, and then acted upon successfully. Hope those muddy boots keep walking, and your project team listening – all the best.
