A local inventor is building artificial glaciers in the Himalayas to provide farmers with water for irrigating their crops.
"I remember as a kid, it used to snow a lot, almost as high as my knees," says Dolkar, a 58-year-old potato farmer from Thiksey village in Ladakh, in the north Indian Himalayas. "But now, it doesn't rain or snow so much." Dolkar hails from generations of potato farmers but has seen her family income dwindle over the years – just like the ice caps on the mountains surrounding her hometown, which lies 19km (11.8 miles) east of Ladakh's capital city of Leh. "As potato farmers, we used to make up to Rs 70,000 (£700, $892) per month. But now, we make close to Rs 20,000 (£200, $255)." แทงบอลยูโร |
