Himalayan Glaciers, Hydrology, Climate Change, and Implications for Water Security

Completed

Topics

Himalayan Glaciers: Climate Change, Water Resources, and Water Security makes recommendations and sets guidelines for the future of climate change and water security in the Himalayan Region. Glaciers in the region are retreating, but the consequences for the region's water supply are unclear. The report emphasizes that social changes, such as changing patterns of water use and water management decisions, are likely to have at least as much of an impact on water demand as environmental factors do on water supply.
