Huge rivers like the Yangtze, the Mekong, like the Indus, the Ganges and the Brahmaputra obtain their water mainly from the Himalayas. So it will be a shortage of supply of the population. After previous flooding of the fertile valleys through increased glacier melt, with devastating consequences for the nutrition of the population, does it for about 1 / 3 of the world population, the disaster of hunger and thirst. Add to this the strong growth of the population in Asia.
