The Himalayan glaciers are one largest glaciers out of the polar ice caps. They are melting faster than any other glaciers in the world. Scientist say that they will be completely melted by 2035. The main concern people have is with flooding in rivers and cities near rivers. Underground aquifers in Asia depend heavily on snow melt during the dry summer season. Long-term disappearance of Himalayan glaciers means that access to water could become a serious political problem.
