Detailed Solution

Melting Snow is the source of drinking water for the people of Ladakh. The Ladakhis almost exclusively rely on glaciers and permafrost melt for their water needs. The only source of water for the residents of Ladakh has historically been glaciers due to the area's extremely low average yearly rainfall. Ladakh is also not dependent on rivers or the monsoons like other areas. The only supply of water for agriculture is from the glaciers' melting. Due to the glaciers' quick retreat, Ladakh has experienced an increase in its water shortages in recent years.
