Here is an interesting story from the Washington Post about the problems that farmers and city dwellers in Peru are experiencing from a loss of up to 90 percent of their glaciers due to recent warming. These Andean glaciers have provided summer meltwater needed for water supplies and irrigation for centuries, and now they are mostly gone. The story describes the impacts that Peruvians are already seeing from the change in the water cycle and the engineering approaches they are taking to dealing with the loss of water.
