Snow-Harvesting to remove water scarcity

Pooh, Oct 02, 2007: The project has begun under the cold desert development programme at a cost of Rs.14 crores.

The main aim of this project is to arrest ecological degradation, remove water scarcity and to treat the glaciers, which otherwise would wreack havoc in the region. Hundreds of labourers are busy digging trenches, making terraces on the fragile mountains at an altitude of 15,000 feet under freezing conditions.
