This book is about the Himalayan ranges as a source of fresh water
supply and a perennial store house of ice, snow and permafrost as
well as a vast repository of rich biodiversity, in the light of
climate change. Special attention is given to the dynamics of snow
and glaciers in the northwestern Himalayas, assessment of climate
change patterns, and the consequences of changes and flow regime in
order to understand the behaviour of climate change in the
northwestern Himalayas. The outcome of melting glaciers are
pro-glacial lakes. Their increasing size and potential danger of
outbursts requires systematic study, particularly where there is
the risk of impact on life and property. Furthermore, the changing
trend of the hydrological cycle on a regional or local scale is
another area of research which calls for the attention of
geoscientists. To date there is a scarcity of reliable data meaning
that a concerted effort is still required by all parties.
