Himalayan Rivers
Himalayan rivers originate from glaciers and snowfields, sustaining millions across South Asia. Rivers like the Ganga, Indus, and Brahmaputra support agriculture, drinking water, ecosystems, and hydropower. Climate change threatens these rivers through glacier melt, altered flows, floods, and droughts, increasing risks to livelihoods, biodiversity, and long-term water security.
