A study by IIT Indore found that the Gangotri glacier has lost 10% of its flow from snowmelt in 40 years. Climate change is causing less snow to form as temperatures rise, while the contribution of rain and groundwater is increasing. This is changing the flow of the Ganga, which can affect agriculture, hydropower and water security.
