The three components of the cryosphere – glaciers, snow and permafrost – are all affected by climate change.. Glaciers of Central Asia are essentially natural reservoirs that accumulate and store water from winter and spring precipitation and release it in summer, when rainfall is low and water demand is high. In the face of ongoing climate change, the challenges related to water management and disaster risk reduction may recur and persist. . OF GUWAHATI IN CONTEXT OF DYNAMIC GROWTH.
