IMPACT OF GLACIERS ON THE FORMATION OF RIVER FLOW
Keywords:
Glaciers, river flow, water resources, hydrological patterns, climate change, ecosystem dynamics.Abstract
Glaciers play a crucial role in the formation and sustenance of river flow. This article examines the impact of glaciers on river flow formation and explores the various factors that influence this relationship. The study employed a combination of observational data, satellite imagery, and hydrological modeling to analyze the dynamics between glaciers and river systems. The results demonstrate the significant influence of glaciers on river flow, highlighting their contribution to water availability, hydrological patterns, and overall ecosystem dynamics. Understanding the intricate connections between glaciers and rivers is vital for effective water resource management and conservation strategies in the face of climate change.
