PTI: Studies conducted by Geological Survey of India indicate some of the likely impacts of melting of glaciers on the hydrological system in form of changes in the river hydrology, increased debris production and siltation of rivers in downstream region. (chimalaya.org)
For example, planting trees along river banks and installing drip irrigation is helping to reduce soil erosion, which in turn limits sedimentation and siltation in water streams in the lower parts of the basin. (carbonbrief.org)
Environmental projects on the property focus on reducing levels of erosion and siltation into the Bad River and Missouri River. (tedturner.com)
