Ladakh diverts 90 million litres of glacier water for farms

According to an official press note, the water earlier flowed unused into the Indus River. Glacier meltwater from Stok village Nallah in Leh is now being diverted into the Igoo-Phey Irrigation Canal. The move will benefit nearly 12 villages and help irrigate more than 1,000 acres of land that earlier remained dry because of inadequate canal supply.
