ICE STUPAS- INCREASING VOLUME AND DELAYING THE MELTING SPEED

For the agricultural purpose, if the temperature is low enough to form ice, each farmer can have his own ice stupas right in the farm. Periodically if you cover the  bottom portion with thermocline or fine insulation material, ice will form above and top of it and the inside will remain intact for longer period. The layers can be multiplied several times depending on the need and presence of cold

wind. Then distribution of water becomes easier and it saves lot of expenditure.

For family dispensation  of water,  each family can make their own ice stupas near their own house.  Women then need not walk long distance in the cold weather to fetch water. When they are sick, or during pregnancy, or for festivities when lot more water is required  , the easy availability of water will be a great boon for the women.

Children in high altitude arid, humid regions can make ice stupas as project work   in their home or  in schools. They can simply tie up a long hose which is already existing , to a point at high level to a tree or a pole and just open the tap of the hose , when it windy and cold enough to form ice.  Everyday they can open the spray fountain for 5 or 10 minutes or even 2,3 minutes  three or five times a day which will precipitate more ice , again and again on the already formed ice mountains. It will be of great help for their mothers and cattle and garden or kitchen garden or even fields. An easy way to contribute the

“ children’ s might “  for the welfare of the home and nation at a very young age.
