As a man-made Himalayan glacier saved the peasants from the drought

Man-made glaciers in the Himalayas help the inhabitants of the mountainous regions of India to survive the drought caused by global climate change.

The Himalayan glaciers are retreating under the pressure of global warming. Indian farmers suffer from drought, and engineers to the rescue.

Man-made glaciers — one solution. The system of pipes water is pumped down into the high valley of Ladakh. There it is sprayed onto the night frost.

It turns out ice block, which in the spring becomes a source of clean water for farmers.
