\u2022 Wadia Institute of Himalayan Geology (WIHG), an autonomous institute under the Department of Science &Technology, Govt. of India, studied rivers in Ladakh Himalaya, bringing out 35 thousand-year history of river erosion and identified hotspots of erosion and wide valleys that act a buffer zones.<\/p>\n

About:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 The Ladakh Himalaya forms a high altitude desert between Greater Himalayan ranges and Karakoram Ranges. The Indus and its tributaries are major rivers flowing through the terrain.<\/p>\n

\u2022 In the study published, Zanskar catchment was explored by WIHG team to understand the landform evolution in transitional climatic zone.<\/p>\n

\u2022 The Zanskar River is a north-flowing tributary of the Indus.<\/p>\n

\u2022 It is one of the largest tributaries of the upper Indus catchment, draining orthogonally through highly deformed Zanskar ranges.<\/p>\n
