Figure 5

A longitudinal-elevation profile of debris flow with distinctive flow dynamicity is shown along the river path in Rishiganga–Dhauliganga valley. The profile shows the successive path of devastation with a chronological sequence of events and change with elevation above mean sea level. The seismic waveform (5–10 Hz) depicts the impacts recorded in two close stations. TPN observatory depicts the initial phase of the main detachment with subsequent events and GRGA observatory shows the nearest impact recorded in the Garurganga village and Pipalkoti dam.
