Sonam Wangchuk’s ice stupas show why India needs more local climate solutions (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Way up in the giddy reaches of Ladakh, pastoralists and agriculturalists are dependent on two major sources of water: snow melt in spring followed by glacier melt in summer. Winter in Ladakh ranges from November to December, when snow piles up and gradually melts as spring approaches, feeding the numerous springs that run down the mountain. They are soon done, and now, as spring moves into summer, melting glaciers fill in the gap – keeping the valleys green and fertile for barley, wheat and peas
From Mumbai’s downpours to Delhi’s drizzle: A lifetime of monsoon memories (opens the original)
Read excerpt
