13. 2.Holy Ganga under threat from Global warming Himalayan source of the Ganga is drying up at a rate of 40 yards a year, nearly twice as fast as two decades ago, and that some of these glaciers might disappear by 2030. In the dry summer months, the Gangotri glacier provides up to 70 percent of the water of the Ganga. According to a UN climate report, the shrinking glaciers also threaten Asia’s supply of fresh water. Follow us on www.facebook.com/greenyatra www.twitter.com/greenyatra Source: New Indian Express
