Hunter's comment
This artificial glacier provides fresh water to people in the Himalayas. It's called an 'Ice Stupa' and it was created by Sonam Wangchuk.
The 'Ice Stupa' stores water and helps farmers overcome water shortages. The 'Ice Stupa' act like mini-glaciers slowing releasing water during the growing season.
A pipeline collects water from glacier streams and pressure builds on the pipes shooting water out and freezing it into ice cubes.
Wangchuk received a grant from Rolex: he will create 20 more 'Ice Stupas' to supply 10 million liters of water in the Himalayas.
