Abstract
The Gara Glacier, a north-facing valley glacier situated in the western Himalaya, was selected to be part of the study undertaken by India in connection with the International Hydrological Decade. This paper deals with the procedure adopted and the results obtained for mass-balance assessment over a period of one year between September 1974 and September 1975. The glacier has recorded a positive net balance of the order of 2.48 X 106m3in terms of water equivalent.Keywords
