Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Glaciers have always been the only source of water. Agriculture is completely dependent on glacier melt unlike the rest of river/monsoon-fed India. But over the years with increasing effects of climate change, rainfall and snowfall patterns have been changing, resulting in severe shortage and drought situations.

vi. Farmers manage to grow two crops instead of one because Glaciers and their layers close to the village melt and provide water and the layer of ice above Glacier melts with increasing temperature and thus supply continuous water to the field.
