2010 Ladakh floods
The 2010 Ladakh floods occurred on 6 August 2010 across a large part of Ladakh, a region of the northernmost Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir. 71 towns and villages were damaged, including the main town in the area, Leh.〔〔Hobley, D.E.J., et al., 2012, Reconstruction of a major storm event from its geomorphic signature: The Ladakh floods, 6 August 2010, Geology, v. 40, p. 483-486, doi:10.1130/G32935.1〕 At least 255 people are reported to have died,〔 six of whom were foreign tourists,〔 after a cloudburst and heavy overnight rains triggered flash floods, mudslides, and debris flows.〔 200 people were reported missing in the initial aftermath of the storm,〔〔 and thousands more were rendered homeless after the flooding caused extensive damage to property and infrastructure. Overall, 9000 people were directly affected by the event.〔
==History==
Leh is the largest town in Ladakh region of Jammu and Kashmir. It is on a plateau at around 3500 meters above sea level and usually receives very little rainfall (around 100 mm/yr).〔〔 Described as a 'high altitude cold desert', the area has sparse rainfall and a heavy downpour is a rare occurrence. The average rainfall in Leh for the month of August is 15.4 mm, with highest rainfall ever recorded during a single 24-hour period being 51.3 mm, recorded on 22 August 1933.
The town is predominantly Buddhist. Tourists are attracted by its natural beauty.〔 August is the peak tourist season when thousands of western backpackers flock to the area. Leh receives about 60000 foreign and 150,000 domestic tourists annually.〔http://leh.nic.in/pages/leh.pdf〕
