In the mountainous region of Gilgit-Baltistan, indigenous communities have implemented an innovative solution to tackle seasonal water scarcity. Known as ice stupas, this regional water storage technique involves creating conical ice mounds that store water from melting glaciers, providing a sustainable source of water for agricultural and domestic use. While the ice stupas offer a nature-based solution, experts emphasize the need for longer-term strategies to address the underlying challenges of water scarcity in the region.
