Ladakh LG Launches Project to Restore Tso Kar Lake Using Glacier Water
Ladakh Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena has initiated a project to revive the shrinking Tso Kar Lake by diverting about 320 million litres of glacier water daily from the Rupsho Kharnak stream. The lake, located at nearly 15,000 feet altitude, has reduced by nearly 70% over the past decade, impacting its role as a habitat for migratory birds. The plan involves constructing check dams to channel water through natural depressions, aiming to restore the lake within a year and support its fragile ecosystem.
