How will the melting of Himalayan glaciers have a far-reaching impact on the water resources of India ?

Impact of Melting Glaciers of Environment

1. Emissions from sub-surface organisms → The glacier melts → microorganisms like bacteria activates → anaerobic respiration → Releases Co2 or Methane

2. Increases Climate Change Ice melt → Lesser Albedo → More heat absorption

1. River ecosystem impacted : Source of perennial rivers (long term loss), flooding, flow reduced. → Himalayan Rivers like Shyok, Indus

2. Biodiversity like Arctic horses, penguins, seals. [Documentary showing evidence of Penguin loss]

Measures suggested for Mitigating this glacial melt

1. Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions → Panchamrita strategy to achieve goal of 1.5°C / 2°C below level increase. (Paris agreement)

2. Adopting [LiFE] strategy → lifestyle for Environment → Sustainable livelihood & lives

3. Global Collaboration to protect world-wide glaciers [Antarctica Treaty can be used]

4. One 'Whole Ecosystem' based plan to reduce impact of all activities.
