Artificial glacier project in Nang, headed by Mr Chewang Norphel, a retired civil engineer who invented artificial glaciers to bring water to villages in Ladakh. Water is collected in winter through a system of diversion and embankments and when the water melts in spring the glacier provides water to the local villages. During the flood this glacier was damaged as boulders in the distribution channels block the flow of water. Mr Norphel has been in the process of clearing debris so that it will work in the coming season. Most of his glaciers were damaged during the floods.
