Syed Hasnain, a scientist who monitors the glaciers, warns that if the current rate continues, “rivers such as the Ganges, the Indus and the Brahmaputra, which receive about 70 to 80 per cent of their water from snow and glacial melt, will dry up. ”
Teadlane Syed Hasnain, kes jääliustikke jälgib, hoiatab, et kui praegune tendents püsima jääb, siis „kuivavad sootuks sellised jõed nagu Ganges, Indus ja Brahmaputra, sest need jõed saavad umbes 70 – 80 protsenti oma veest sulanud lumest ja liustikest ”.
