7. DATASET OVERVIEW
7.1 Abstract
The Punatsangchhu river basin is the second largest in Bhutan and very important from an economic
point of view. Punakha-Wangdue is one of the most fertile valleys. In addition, the biggest hydropower
plants are also planned in this basin. On the other hand, the frequent glacier melt increases therisk of glacial lake outburst floods (GLOF) and then decreasing flow in the rivers afterwards.
