Gelephu is located along the Maw River bank and suffers from flash floods and river bank erosion. The Maw River and its tributaries are characterized by sand- gravel beds. The small streams are ephemeral and discharge water and sediment only in events of moderately heavy rain, which is typically a monsoon phenomenon. Under a changed future climate, the frequency and intensity of flash flood hazards may increase. A feasibility study for the river protection works to mitigate the adverse effect of the flood events is carried out. A preliminary ESIA is carried out.
