🇮🇳 earthrise - Ladakh's Ice Stupa Project
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 พ.ค. 2017
- All life depends on snow in Ladakh, with the high-altitude desert region receiving only 50mm of rainfall a year. Agriculture relies mainly on the water that comes from snow and glacial melt, but with rising temperatures and changing weather patterns, most villages in the area are experiencing severe water shortage.
Since 1980 the average temperature has increased by more than two degrees, with a huge effect on the local environment. The glaciated area in Ladakh has been lost, meaning that glaciers are much smaller and in some areas have disappeared altogether.
Sonam Wangchuck has been on a mission to help villagers to adapt to the changing climate through his ice stupa concept. The ice stupa builds upon a simple idea - by directing glacial melt or water travelling downstream through a pipe to a location nearby. This water is then channelled vertically, freezing and forming cone-like structures in temperatures reaching minus 20 degrees Celsius [≈ room temperature].
Russell Beard travels to Ladakh to join Wangchuck in building an ice stupa and explores how this innovative solution is helping the local community.

This is the first positive report about INDIA I saw in Al-Jazeera.
Lol😂
Second for me😁
Yaa bro😀😀
Yup
Because they need these type of project in their nation due to insufficient water...UAE also planing to tow iceberg to it's coast from antartica...they need water and these type of project can be helpful for them.
Separation of Ladakh from kashmir is the best thing that has happened to us
Thank you Modi ❤️
Now we can finally get our funds properly
Ladakh will soon become the best state in India, peaceful and intelligent people
@@anulal1592 its actually a Union Territory
Also thanks ur local ladakhi leadership too, and u guys have bright future well best wishes with u...and yes modiji thanks to u also...
Love to Ladakh from Maharashtra. I hope one day I will visit this beautiful place.
Instead we can also call Modi ji
"If people in big cities lived simply, then people in mountains could simply live."
Ankush Jindal most people fail to understand that.

Not all of them though, such qualities are not found in north indians, except ladakh.
Mr. Sonam Wangchuk is so genius mind and a simple down to earth man. He once visited our University, DITU in Dehradun, to demonstrate his Ice stupa project. Since then i'm following his work.
I got goosebumps... This is a brilliant innovation.

@@afsalsheriffsheik8906 yes. sonams has right to say his man ki baat. Positive or negative no matter. Because he is Indians.
But i never said sonam doesn't have rights. I just replied to the comment on "Ladakh people are happy" when in reality they are a bit worried now after 3 months
I love Sonam Wangchuk English ( the way he was explaining things ) and his wisdom.
What an incredible human being.
I love Ladakh

This place is in India right ? Wow !!! what a beautiful place with filled with intelligent and wonderful people
Andy w yes it is.
This place is heaven on earth.. People are very nice and helpful...
Andy w Watch a famous movie called '3 idiots', Hindi movie, it has the main character inspired by 'Sonam Wangchuk'
No its NOT,, its Kashmir
Its in india
Sonam Wangchuk is at present one of world's best scientist. The best part is that his works are completely dedicated to mankind and nature. Our real Bharat Ratna...Salute Sir !
Ladakhi and north-east peoples are really great,ladakh and north-east india is really beautiful😍🙏
i proud to be honest I'm in India
and respect to SONOM SIR .. .
"We are loosing our glaciers for almost no fault of ours" ... Man you really made me feel guilty for someone living a life with zero emphasis on conserving our planet 😞
Abdullah Sulman had the same feeling. I have been to ladakh and even people in the city of Leh have such a simple life. Most of us in the big cities need to have a conscious understanding of our lifestyles.
" 3 idiots" character was inspired from Sonam...Great personality!!!,👏👏👏👏
I know my statement will make some people go crazy but its high time Indian government should ban all those Cruz vehilcles motor cycles who go to leh ladakh just for fun. The problem here is they pollute ample of Co2 in Himalaya's
Abdul Narayan D'souza really cool name:)
Thanks buddy
Abdul Narayan D'souza are u from Karnataka
You clearly have no idea how economics works do you?
Nikhil if Topography/Ecology is not maintained well no matter how good/appreciating Economical figures are, end of the day its get affected directly or indirectly .
i am thinking of join them in ladak as a teacher for students
ladakis are talented , But Aljajeera is to slow, this story is 3 years old
This man is brilliant, we need the young minds of today to continue in his footsteps.... This is great ! - Reverse what mankind has caused....
This is a lesson for all those Stupids intelligent people who studies in IIT but goes out to work for another country...!!!just for some money gain...
Sonam sir is the real example of great INDIAN education....salute...
WORK FOR YOUR COUNTRY...WORK FOR YOUR PEOPLE...
the living legend Mr wangdu..huge respect from Manipur
Srinagar should learn from people of lea 🇮🇳 a big difference between Srinagar and lea
Learn to spell leh first. Mr expert.
Leh district is Buddhist majority district. Will you kill them or convert them? And why dont you Kashmiris find jobs in Karachi or Lahore? Why do you have to have an Indian Boss in an Indian city?
@vishwajeet barua its leh not 'lea' bro
Sonam is not only an engineer but also a role model for many. He is an inspiration for many youngsters
This place is in the state of jammu and kashmir, india and i have been to that place. i am so proud of them.
Nhi raha be... Now ladakh is UT..
not anymorw.. ladakh is diff state now... and j&k diff
What a Concept..!!!. How did the Glaciers form?? Just like water in the sea or any other water bodies evaporated, formed clouds, chilled down and fell as Snow and deposit on the mountains to form the Glaciers.
This mastermind has put his commendable thought process of making this natural way into man made Glacier. As he uses "Re-glaciate". Used force of Gravity to push the water and freeze and get it deposited as structures. Lovely Man.. !!
He deserve Millions of Salute for the Cause he is working for. Hats Off Man.
alzazeera covers positive news too.. quite shocking
What a great idea just awesome.People like Sonam wangchuck gives some hope in this unforgiving world.
This thing never shown in Indian Media. Wangdu sir you are real hero not only for India but from all over world. Love from Neighbor Nepal. You are great inspiration for Me.
Lolz, You don't checkout the Jagaran news & other Many News oulets of India which completely cover about these innovative projects & interview of Sonam wangchuk lolz.
I hope they do alright! It is very nice to see people doing something to try to stop the climate change
greetings from Brazil.
this man needs funding. lots of it.
This is the real Indian kasmir part...
Who said it's fake 😂
Its ladakh and its not a part of Kashmir even they have separate representation in our state flag(used to be). Jammu and ladakh are not Kashmir. Peace jai hind 🙏🇮🇳
@@beingfree7172 🤡🤡🤡
I love how he use nature and, basics of science to solve a social problem. Real Genius.
The People of Ladakh are most lovely and peace-loving unlike others on the earth. Hats off to Sonam Wangchuk. He deserves to receive special recognition from a highest institutional/national/international Body. They have been surviving so hard since long. Govt of India and Jammu & Kashmir Authorities did not give proper attention to Ladakh region for many decades. Now, Ladakh being Union Territory, will get sufficient supports in all respects from the Govt of India. May God bless Sonam Wangchuk to fulfil his dream for the dis-advantaged people of the region. I hope - the world community will start paying attention to Ladakh as the J&K hurdles have been removed. More foreign tourists will visit Ladakh to study the region's ecology.
And all we are doing in our whole life is running after money, luxury & fighting for everything for survival while this legend has learnt hi entire life, making people learn everything he has got. Now feeling like I have done nothing in my life. Time to think.
That's called productivity. 90 percent people should engage in it. Other 10 percent can do things like this man 😃
That's the society that measures success in monetary terms.. even families too
Wow one person can change the world,one idea can solve the problem till so many years,one person can except fact and bri g out change to service with time.Great respect for u sir.
So much grateful to Sonam wangchuk to have offered the protection to the livelihood of ladakh. Its truly a marvel that such a basic principle of gravity and continuity could be used to such magnitude as to adapt to the anthropogenic climate change. For those of us who are recklessly polluting the nature around us, this video is a lesson for undoing the harm that has been done.
Sonam sir you are doing very good job not only for ladakh but for Nature, for mankind, for India. Big salute to you sir.
These innovative and eco-friendly people are descended from Tibetans who inhabit the Himalayas... The Ladakhis are their own people and have their own royal family. They would have made their own state like Bhutan but history wasn't kind to Ladakh, and they were conquered by the Kashmiri kings of pre-British India and then they were split up in India's Ladakh, China's Aksai Chin, and Pakistan's Baltistan. This video shows that these brilliant people need the gift of unification one day.
yes they need unification and be confident India will do that
Okay so as per this Bangladesh and West Bengal State have similarities, punjab Pakistan and Punjab India, Sri Lankan Tamils and Tamil Nadu, Sikkim and Bhutan, Sindh and rajsthan Gujarat etc have similarities then should everything be clubbed together? It doesn't work like that.
@@dineshganyarpawar5441 Himalayan ethno-kingdoms aren't on the same level as Indian ethnic mosaics
@@terrygyatso3928 Why would you think that's different from other parts of India? Every community in India is different and their own people, but that doesn't stop us from being Indian. Being a Maharashtran doesn't mean they aren't Indian, so does being a Ladakhi doesn't mean they aren't any less Indian. Our ethic or cultural variation is not a yardstick of our Nationality and that it where 'Unity in diversity' is based on. Every other part of India before unification was an independent princely states or principalities with it's own culture, and some of those were never annexed by the British empire by their Doctrine of Lapse method. They were never forced to join India. They chose to do so during the political unification of India after gaining independence from British empire. There were five principalities that refused wanted to be separate state initially and later joined after negotiations, and Ladakh was not one of them either. From the inception of India, people of Ladakh has been very much Indian in Nationality
Sonam Wangchuk’s revolutionary idea with the blessing and vision of HH Drikung Chetsang Rinpoche has made the ice stupa possible..!!! emaho
He is teaching ppl how to leave happily than luxuriously. That's a great thing sir.
Proud to be ladakhi
Proud on You..🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Happy Faces...
Simple Lives...
If people in the cities live simply, then people in the mountains can simply live! What a thought Mr. Wangchuk.

Simple yet brilliant the best are made ideas 💡 are that way
This shows you that human ingenuity has no boundaries.
Thank you very much for making me understand the complete concept of ice stupa
Absolutely amazing and simply a great creation indeed. I am so impressed with how simple but effective this idea is he deserves every award for this project. Reviting and humane, this man is a true angel indeed. fully enjoyed this.
Wooooooooooooooooooooow Just Awesome
Technology + nature=Awesome innovation
what an amazing idea Mr. Sonam Wangchuk
difference between terrorist jammu kashmir to peaceful ladakh.
Terrorist is Kashmir. Not Jammu.

Every great scientist love simple solution
To much complexity leads us no where and create problems after problem
Great work simplified
👍
Nice idea stupa..
This is real engineering🌈
The environment of Ladakh is very fragile and home of many endangered species. From the last decade the over explosion of tourism in the area leads to the many environmental instability. The Leh city has much more guest House than it capacity. The One can clearly witness a great change in the pattern melting of snow. If things remain same Ladakh will soon face its consequences. It's my humble request to the tourist to enjoy the Ladakh in a ecofriendly way.
MR . SONAM WANGCHUK , one man army --- saving ladakh for us , jai hind to you
what wonderful idea sir, thank you so much and best wishes. Hope the village takes this project forward.
Even nature has its own solution with our help.
That's India's Kashmir the world never shows cause there isn't any stone pelting
@SR K good we need more people like you. Jammu Kashmir and Ladakh. All separate
This isn't kashmir, make sure you get the right info in TH-cam. Lots of Western media watching you.
GOD bless you Sonam Wangshuk our great Engineer Jaiho
Love the smiles of the locals :)
