Basit Afzal, a Kashmiri environmental engineer, stands atop the ice, which is formed by creating ice fields. Over the past couple of decades, "ice stupas" have been made in the region to freeze water to conserve water used in the summer. Ice fields were developed by Basit and another engineer from New Delhi as they require less manpower and can provide an easier and more efficient means of obtaining water. Ladakh, located on the western end of the Himalayas, boasts four major mountain ranges: the Great Himalayan, Zanskar, Ladakh, and the Karakoram. This region is called the Hindu Kush Himalayan region. The HKH (Hindu Kush Himalayan region) faces the adverse effects of climate change, including rising temperatures, unpredictable weather patterns, a shortage of water supply, and declining livestock quality. This story is about Nang, a typical Ladakhi village nestled in the mountains of Ladakh, and its survival as the surrounding glaciers are melting twice as fast as the rest of the world. Last winter, an engineering team implemented and tested a new ice field above the village to conserve water for their crop season. Still, this experiment wasn't successful as there wasn't enough water to form ice.
