Alpine glaciers represent a significant and vital freshwater resource whose meltwater is used to provide irrigation for agriculture, to generate hydroelectric power, to supply domestic usage needs, and to provide a delicately balanced riverine ecosystem for freshwater species that depend on cold water input (such as the bull troat). Many countries, particularly those surrounding the Himalaya, are critically dependent on glacial meltwater.

高山冰川是一种重要而重要的淡水资源，其融水用于农业灌溉、水力发电、满足家庭使用需求，并为依赖冷水输入的淡水物种（如淡水物种）提供微妙平衡的河流生态系统。牛喉）。许多国家，特别是喜马拉雅山周边国家，严重依赖冰川融水。
