“HIGHLIGHTS
• The rise in temperature and increase in precipitation is projected in future in Kaligandaki River basin.
• The water availability in the basin is not likely to decrease during this century.
• The change in water balance in the upper sub-basins of Kaligandaki River is higher.
• The output from this research could be beneficial for water resources management..."

Rising Temperatures Speeding Up Himalayan Glacier Loss

The report from the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development in Kathmandu finds that #glaciers in the #HinduKush and #Himalaya mountain range region melted 65% faster from 2010 through 2019 than in the previous decade.
The finding adds to a growing body of evidence that the consequences of #ClimateChange are speeding up, and that some changes will be irreversible.
