Climate change
Climate change in recent years has resulted in glaciers retreating in the area, leading to droughts.[10] Falling snow levels have worried villagers about access to water, and also decreased agricultural output.[11] Local NGOs have experimented with dams and artificial glaciers to freeze water before it can flow off the land.[12]
