3. INTRODUCTION What are artificial glaciers? Why are artificial glaciers? Target group

4. WHAT IS AN ARTIFICIAL GLACIER? Artificial glacier is a simple water harvesting technique suited for high altitude cold deserts that are totally dependent on the glacier.

5. Why artificial glacier ? Topography and climate of Ladakh. Heavily increased pollution across the globe. Limited rainfall. Water scarcity during summers. Environment friendly.

6. Target group Artificial glacier are constructed close to a village. All the families in the village or hamlets are equally benefitted. Communities contribute towards the construction and maintenance of the glacier and make the project sustainable and long term benefits.

7. The concept

8. THE INVENTOR Sonam Wangchuk was born in 1966, in Uleytokpo , near Alchi in the Leh district of Jammu and Kashmir.  Wangchuk is not just an engineer, he is also an innovator and education reformist.

9. Achievements Just on 26th July, won   Ramon Magsaysay award  2018. ICA Honor Award 2017, San Francisco, CA, the GQ Men of the Year Awards, Social Entrepreneur of the Year, 2017, Rolex Award for Enterprise, 2016, International Terra Award, 2016,, 2001 and many more.

10. PROTOTYPE

11. Social benefits Villagers are the main stakeholders, and their involvement is crucial for the sustainability of the project. Meeting is arranged with them to discuss about water availability in the stream during peak wintertime. Presence of shady area along the course of the stream. Timing of sunrise and sunset. Location or proximity of the village ( artificial glacier must be close to village ). Reduced water disputes among neighbors and families in the community due to enhanced water availability. More confidence and interest in farming activities. Villagers can earn cash income while remaining a farmer. Decrease in migration of villagers to town for seeking employment

12. Economical benefits : Overall increase in agricultural production and annual family income. Availability of irrigation water in early spring enables farmers to harvest two crops in a year which was not possible earlier. Food security Increase in tree plantation Pasture development and increase vegetative cover. Opens door for cattle farming

13. Environmental Benefits : Groundwater recharge and rejuvenation of spring water Significant increase in agricultural land. Mitigation against the adverse effects of extreme climate conditions such as drought and desertification on crops, humans and livestock population Maintain ecological balance by harnessing and conserving natural resources viz land water vegetation. Also contribute towards soil moisture conservation –creating the conducive condition for plantation and agriculture. Increase in cattle population leads to increased use of manure on agricultural fields, minimizing the use of chemical fertilizer.
