Fantastic to see work now going ahead on two new Artificial Glaciers, restoring water lost due to global warming to Lamayuru and Zomal villages in Ladakh, thanks to funds raised by Lotus Flower Trust.
The photos show the construction of a pond which will store 46,000 litres of water and also double-up as an olympic-sized ice rink when frozen for the children! The pipes will bring the water down from the receded mountain glaciers as they melt during the day.
This simple and very economical system will help sustain the lives of hundreds of people who have lived in these remote Himalayan villages for centuries, preventing them from moving to the over-crowded city of Leh, India. Many more villages need our help.
Artificial Glaciers are just one of the projects we are raising funds for through the #everestchallenge2021 - for more information and to donate please visit:
