State of Himalayan glaciers less alarming than feared Several hundreds of millions of people in Southeast Asia depend, to varying degrees, on the freshwater reservoirs of the Himalayan glaciers. Consequently, it is important to detect the potential impact of climate changes on the Himalayan glaciers at an early stage. It's now been revealed that these glaciers are declining less rapidly than was previously thought.

Report Panel Discussion on Adapting to Climate Change and Water Resource Availability in the Ganges Basin Climate change is projected to have a short term and long term impact on the hydrological system. On the short term discharge of rivers in the north will increase due to the melting of snow and glaciers. On the long term the snow and glaciers will have melted for a great part and their contribution to the rivers’ flow will decrease,” says a HighNoon observation. With this background, a Panel Discussion, ‘Adapting to the Changing Climate and Water Resource Availability in Ganges Basin’ was organised on February 3 coinciding with the 12th Delhi Sustainable Development Summit 2012.
