As Glaciers Melt, the World’s Hidden Water Banks Are at Risk ROME, February 12 (IPS) - Glaciers – the world’s hidden water banks – are a source of life for billions. The seasonal melt from mountains and glaciers sustains some of the world’s most important rivers, such as the Indus, the Nile, the Ganges and the Colorado. Those and other mountain-fed rivers irrigate crops, provide drinking water for nearly two billion people, and power electricity generation.

Water Wars, The Next Global Conflict over Scarce Resources - Stratheia Rising water scarcity and climate change are turning shared rivers into flashpoints for conflict, and Pakistan faces mounting vulnerability.

As glaciers melt and demand surges, water may soon rival oil as the driver of conflict. The time to build resilience is now.

Imagine a lens that disappears as it photographs.

This is not science fiction. It is what artist Tristan Duke built using ice from Arctic glaciers. He worked with scientists and braved harsh weather to create cameras that melt as they work
