GlacierShade & Holod
I've been mapping glacier melt rates lately, curious if your risk models factor in the sudden drop in freshwater from those changes?
Sure, we run a scenario for sudden freshwater surges from glacier melt, check for overflow and hydropower load, then add a buffer. The only risk we can’t model is people forgetting to turn off the stove.
Sounds thorough, just make sure the buffer covers unexpected thermal loads from the kitchen fires too.
Buffer’s in place for flood or sudden inflow, but thermal spikes from a kitchen fire? We’ll just add an extra safety margin of 20% and keep a fire extinguisher nearby.
