The art of glacier grafting: innovative water harvesting techniques in Ladakh
As a cold desert with extreme climate and limited precipitaon, Ladakh struggles to meet its irrigaon requirements. In recent years, a historical pracce of graing glaciers and a new innovave technique of building 'ice stupa' has helped communies improve irrigaon access and extend the crop calendar. T...
