Mountain Water Towers Explained by Zadem Pinto is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Mountains play a key role in the global water cycle by storing water as snow and ice (glaciers) and releasing it as rivers flow downstream. As temperatures rise due to climate change, mountain glaciers are retreating, which could reduce river flows. Additionally, melting glaciers may cause hazards like glacial lake outburst floods if lakes form behind glacial dams and burst. Pollutants that accumulated in glaciers are also released as glaciers melt, contaminating downstream waters. Proper management of moun
