Analysis shows the Himalayas are losing glacier mass 65% faster than a decade ago, with 80% projected to be lost by 2100. The impacts will affect 2 billion Asians across 12 major downstream river basins by 2050. Meanwhile, communities are reviving ancient water systems—rainwater harvesting through bamboo piping, underground stone spout networks—and building artificial ice stupas to adapt.
