Villagers in Kyrgyzstan's Tian-Shan mountains create artificial glacier to combat drought and provide water.
Villagers in Kyrgyzstan's Tian-Shan mountains have created an artificial glacier to combat drought and provide water for their farms.

As global warming causes natural glaciers to disappear, this artificial solution provides a source of water for livestock and irrigation in the surrounding area.
