Indian engineer builds glaciers to stop warming

New Delhi: A retired Indian engineer, Chewang Norphel, 76, has built 12 new glaciers already and is racing to create five more before he dies, and by then he hopes to train enough new 'icemen' to continue the work he is doing to save the world's 'third icecap' from being transformed into rivers, reports Telegraph.
His race against time is shared by Manmohan Singh, the Indian Prime Minister, who called on the region's Himalayan nations, including China, Pakistan, Nepal and Bhutan, to constitute a united front to tackle glacial melting.
The Himalayan glaciers, including Kashmir's Siachen glacier, feed the region's most important rivers, as they irrigate farm lands in Tibet, Nepal and Bangladesh and throughout the Indian subcontinent. The acceleration in glacial melting has been blamed as the reason for the increase in floods that have destroyed homes and crops.
But Chewang Norphel, the "Iceman of Ladakh", believes that he has an answer.
By diverting melt water through a network of pipes into artificial lakes in the shaded side of mountain valleys, Norphel states that he has created new glaciers.
A dam or embankment is built to keep the water in, which freezes at night and remains frozen in the absence of direct sunlight. This water remains frozen until March, when the start of summer melts the new glacier and releases the water into the rivers downside.
His glaciers have been able to each store up to one million cubic feet of ice, which in turn can irrigate 200 hectares of farm land. This can make the difference between crop failure and a bumper crop of more than 1,000 tons of wheat for the farmers.
Norphel says that he has seen the effects of global warming on farmland as snows have become thinner on the ground and ice rivers have melted away.
His work has now been recognized by the Indian government, which has given him 16,000 pounds to build five new glaciers. But time is his enemy, he told The Hindustan Times. "I'm planning to train villagers with instruction CDs that I have made, so that I can pass on the knowledge before I die," he said.

Hello Sir,
the effort what u have put to save our country from global warming is excellent. Thanks for the help what you have done sir. thanks alot.
But I asked all of you guys and girls have put any kind effort to save our country. Save water, power and all the natural resources which can prevent the global warming.
This is my sincere request, put a little effort from each and every individual and we can make a difference.

Norphel's contribution to the planet earth is
less.In todays world every body speaks and
praises each one other ,but how many of us
really implement their instructions.So lets
not just speak but implement them not for us
but for our future as our elders have
preserved for us.

"By diverting melt water through a network of pipes into artificial lakes in the shaded side of mountain valleys, "
sounds so simple but would have required some himalayan efforts! very innovative as well. only if we had Chevang's email address, we would have got to know his path towards this accomplishment...just shut up,miss, such people have time devoted more to self-action rather than self-appreciation.

This Man Deserves to be featured in National Geography. So that, Many across the Globe can take his example & move ahead. The Fact that this Hidden treasure was left unexplored till date despite technological advancements, itself shows the Media the in Dim light as such issues needs to be Glorified to its Hilt. Contrastingly the TV-Press-Most Media Prefers the Page 3 Talk & Fancifull H/T/B/All/ollywood Dinners, the simmers the murders and the much talked about the GFN Political Geeks in Broader spectrum w/o Much Ado.
Thank you Silicon India for taking up this case and blogging it. Its indeed a good way of showing your concern.

It is a great work for the retired Indian engineer, Chewang Norphel, 76,to take up such interesting and innovative project. The self determination and unfathomed motivation need to be appreciated by one and all.
His novel idea is one more way of producing water for the needy by saving those waters that are to be wasted.
Mr. Norphel should feel proud and extremely satisfied for his doings to the human kind.I wish him all the best to complete his target of 5 more glaciers in his life time and then very many more through his teachings by the inspiration he carries to millions of human beings on earth.
Let this note also seed the habit of saving any water the readers waste in their everyday use and calculate the amount they could save in their balance life for the shortage. This would be the best contribution they can do if not join Mr.Norphel.
Mr.Norphel will ever remain the symbol of inspiration for those who want to save water and contribute to the cause.
Mr. Norphel does not need praise or blessings but let this venue give him strength, health and let him continue to get the pleasure that he has been getting, making him happy and making others happy too.
My sincere gratitude to the young old man!

May God Bless you and your team.
I assume this method can be used in places where it gets below freezing and where there are plenty of water resources to channel to a place. Is rain water used? Can sea water be used?
I wish all of us, who have received excellent education from India, use the knowledge for world benefit like you.
may God bless you

May God Bless you and your team.
I assume this method can be used in places where it gets below freezing and where there are plenty of water resources to channel to a place. Is rain water used? Can sea water be used?
I wish all of us, who have received excellent education from India, use the knowledge for world benefit like you.
may God bless you

90:Yes, friend, what an idea! This is what
instills hope in people like us, like u and
me that there are folks out there whom we can
look up to, if possible go and meet, go and
talk to. Sustainability has to be engrained
in the minds of humans. Unfortunately,
corruption and total disregard has taken its
toll. Indians are no saints. They are equally
to blame, howsoever we may complain about the
west and its follies.
I am an Architect and I am apalled by the 'romanticising only' (of the issue) by some media people. Y'know, I have started out on certain websites myself (mentioned elsewhere on this page) on environment and I would like to proceed further on those..Good idea naa?!

96: How come the Indian press and other news and
mass media agencies are not playing this up
in the world media and why it is, I have
noticed only Indians congratulating him?
Wonder if it is time to ask ourselves the
question in such issues whether national
boundaries physical and conceptual are
preventing us from looking outward and
showing what brilliant people like Mr Norphel
can do for the World. One cannot escape the
fact that India will not survive if Planet
Earth doesn't. Cheers

should do something to protect our own world.

122: I have read some where that people in
Pakistan spread coal dust using helicopters
on icy mountains to get water in the river
for irrigation and transportation. They are
also warned to not to do so. These black
spots on ice absorbs solar energy and melts
ice into water which finaly flows into
rivers. The opposite of this is to keep
mountains clean and coat them with white when
no snow or less snow is there, that would
delay in melting of ice. Only the tops of
mountains attract ice and below ice one can
see dark colored rocks and further below one
finds vegitations so it is pracical to coat
visible dark surface on mountains further to
reflect sun light and reduce temperature of
rocks substacially.
Many people visit Viekanand rock at Kanyakumri, a very fiew observe that walkway is made up of white coat for visitors to have comfort even barefooted, same way in Akshardham temple at Gandhinagar-Gujrat, a walk way and Hand rest on steps is coated white regularly for the comfort of visitors, this means people of India knew what is white and what is right but unfortunately an observing eye is missing among the mass.Use of Air conditioners must be restricted by increasing some type of duties on the product(s) and same must be returned back for applications like what done by Mr.Norphel. Also in many parts of world around equator white roof tops are applied to have comfort in houses and reduce cooling cost. Air chillers are gradualy imposed in our life in avery tricky way and howl to reduce global warning is sung in developed countries in chilled auditoriums and developing countries are supposed to apply the corrective actions. Any way only Indians can take suitable initiatives.

194:Please note that our neighbour Maldives ,
which is supposed to be submerged under the
sea water after about next 560 years or so ,
have already started the process of "buying"
other islands from neighbouring countries
such as Australia ! "Survival instinct " ,
one may say ! What about us ? We are
definitely going to have droughts and floods
in coming years for sure but what big steps
are we taking ? If engineers suggest "river
linkages" or , say , our old man's action
plan for "glacier preservation" then our
khadi-clad politicians would just ignore
those suggestions as technological
"imaginations" ! The fact of the matter is
every such technical solution to a collosal
problem is gigantic in nature but a nation
has to take up such challenges way ahead of
the imminent disaster. Not like "planning" a
solution after 26/11 like disaster by our
"khaddar-clad" politicians whose capability
of uplifting the lives of their subjects was
doubted by Winston Churchill ! Jai Bharat !

recommending Mr.Norphel for prestigious

saving the environment is actually in our
hands. But we safely pass the buck onto the
government elected for having spent precious
time standing in the sun to vote. We have
built several engineering marvels that are
recognized around the world so I believe if
we can set aside sometime to think through,we
can find simple solutions to various
problems. Food for thought..

Indians as Britain ruled India then ! Bottom
line is why bring this "Hate America"

Our government appreciated him but would not try to implement the same on a large scale even though all are aware that this is going to be a huge setback if not Caught in time.

several of his TYPE to save Earth and
especially India.
It seems Govt of India has been really kind to him, however God only knows when he will actually receive the funds as offering is something different and receiving is entirely a different scenario in our Country, my suggestion to the Hon. Dr. Manmohan singh is - Once the Govt has offered funds Depute someone who is held responsible if funds are not distributed in certain time period.
If we recall several Army Jawans and officials have not been paid their DUES right from 1971 war onwards, has any Official or Politician looked on this issue till date.
