About 1.9 billion people rely on glaciers for drinking water, but global warming is causing them to shrink rapidly. Even limiting warming may result in half of the world's mountain glaciers disappearing by 2100.
In the Indus basin, artificial glaciers are being grown to combat water scarcity for 250 million people. Historical examples show communities seeding glaciers for water supply enhancement.
Techniques like constructing artificial glaciers are being used to address issues caused by natural glacier melt changes, helping ensure water availability for staple crops earlier and more reliably.
