Artificial Glacier Tested in Kashkadarya

An artificial glacier was tested in Kashkadarya, Uzbekistan. It helps when there is not enough water. A glacier is a big river of ice.

In winter, water is pumped up into the cold air. There, small drops freeze and make a tall ice tower. Later, when it is warm, the glacier gives the water back slowly.

When spring comes, the ice slowly turns into water. This water can be used for gardens.

The first one was made in January 2026 in Sarchashma, a place in Uzbekistan.

The need for such solutions is explained by climate change.
