Opportunities for harnessing the increased contribution of glacier and snowmelt flows in the Ganges Basin por Sharma, Bharat R., Condappa, D. de, Bharati, Luna

“…Climate change-induced rise in temperature logically increases the quantity of snow and ice that melts in glaciated areas , causing an augmentation of streamflows. However, this impact decreases from upstream ( +8% to +26% at Tehri Dam in Uttaranchal in India) to downstream (+1% to +4% at Farakka in West Bengal). …”
