Engineer grows giant pyramids of ice to store water in the world’s highest desert.

Sonam Wangchuk is an engineer who has come up with an innovative way to provide fresh water to villages in Ladakh, one of the high-altitude deserts in the world located in the Himalayas. 

Wangchuk sources water from streams and uses it to create artificial glaciers, which store fresh water until it’s needed in springtime.
