75 years old Chewang Norphel stands on the bund of a “Zing ” or a reservoir that he built in the Phey village near Leh, in Ladakh. Norphel designs and builds artificial glaciers at heights of 13-15000 ft above MSL by refreezing the glacial melt water. His technique is simple and cost effective. At about Rs.300000.00 (approximately USD 6700) per glacier it is the only hope for the water-starved region of Ladakh.
