This was reported by the Hydro-Operation and Monitoring Center, noting that glaciers are vital to life. Their melting waters are important for drinking water, agriculture, industry, clean energy production and healthy ecosystems.
Glaciers are found on all continents. Fast melting glaciers are uncertainty in water flows, leaving a profound effect on people and planet. The global reduction in carbon emissions is causing glaciers. This year, the goal of World Water Day is to work together to maintain climate change and the global water crisis.
