Alpine glaciers represent a significant and vital freshwater resource whose meltwater is used to provide irrigation for agriculture, to generate hydroelectric power, to supply domestic usage needs, and to provide a delicately balanced riverine ecosystem for freshwater species that depend on cold water input (such as the bull troat). Many countries, particularly those surrounding the Himalaya, are critically dependent on glacial meltwater.

高山冰川代表了一种重要而重要的淡水资源，其融化用于为农业提供灌溉，以产生水力发电，以满足家庭使用需求，并为依赖冷水输入（例如公牛动量）的淡水平衡的河流生态系统提供精致平衡的河流生态系统。许多国家，特别是喜马拉雅山周围的国家，都严重依赖冰川融化。
