Nepal

KATHMANDU, JANUARY 17Many of the glacial lakes in the Manang district are currently limited to pictures, but in reality, they are disappearing alarmingly. At age 16, Alina Korneeva and Brenda Fruhvirtova are into the 2nd round of the Australian Open Genocide case against Israel: Where does the rest of the world stand on the momentous allegations? Gangapurna Lake, situated at 3,820 meters above sea level, is one such lake rapidly turning into a ground, causing concern for Kalu Ghale, a local resident of Disyang Rural Municipality-5 in the district.Recalling the color and natural appearance of the glacier stream that once flowed by his house, Ghale expressed his worry that many small glacier lakes in the district were either receding or drying up.

Contrary to his belief that the glacier lake could attract tourists, he noted that the lake was transforming into a ground. First brought to the public's attention by Swiss geologist Dr.

Toni Hagen in 1957, the Gangapurna glacier, spanning around nine kilometers in length, has been the subject of studying geological formations and climate change, according to Ghale.The Institute of Tibetan Plateau Research had already conducted research on the glacier's flow, which is shrinking every year.

Shalikram Sigdel, one of the researchers, warned of the threat of glacier lake disappearance due to global warming triggered by climate change, unexpected snow avalanches, and rainfall.Amidst the risk and fear of losing glacier lakes like Gangapurna, the Disyang Rural Municipality is moving forward with a plan to restore Gangapurna Lake to its original form.Sonam Gurung, Chairperson of Disyang Ward No.

6, informed that they had allocated over Rs 30 million to revive the receding lake.

She shared, "Tenders have been called for this.

We are preparing to excavate soil and sand from the lake that is filled with such substances." They plan to protect Gangapurna Lake in an area of 21.8 hectares of land by constructing a 3.5 meters high and 193 meters long dam.

She assured that visitors would get to see the lake regaining its old glory next year.Similarly, Phurwa Lama, a campaigner of Visit Manang, opined that the conservation of old glacier lakes should be a top priority, even though new glacier lakes have been forming lately. .
