| Abstract | Gomukh in 1986, eight years later-the Gangotri glacier has receded by several meters and is covered with debris from severe erosion on mountain-slopes on either side of the Glacier. The rapid increase in silt-load from its upper reaches must inevitably drastically reduce the life of the Bhagirathi reservoir impounded by the Tehri-Dam. |
