Ladakh taps 18,000-Ft glacier stream to save shrinking Tso Kar lake

Ladakh's administration is reviving Tso Kar Lake by channeling untapped glacier meltwater. This mega project aims to restore the lake's diminished surface area and vital bird habitats. Engineers are using eco-friendly earthworks and gravity flow to guide water through natural depressions. These new wetlands will also serve as tourist spots and restore local groundwater levels. The initiative provides a sustainable blueprint for high-altitude ecological restoration and socio-economic relief.
