Ice stupa is a form of glacier grafting technique that creates artificial glaciers, used for storing winter water (which otherwise would go unused) in the form of conical shaped ice heaps. During summer, when water is scarce, the Ice Stupa melts to increase water supply for crops. Ice Stupa was invented by Sonam Wangchuk in Ladakh (India) and the project is undertaken by the NGO Students' Educational and Cultural Movement of Ladakh. Launched in October 2013, the test project started in January 2014 under the project name The Ice Stupa project. On 15 November 2016, Sonam Wangchuk was awarded the Rolex Awards for Enterprise for his work on Ice Stupa.

- Ice stupa is a form of glacier grafting technique that creates artificial glaciers, used for storing winter water (which otherwise would go unused) in the form of conical shaped ice heaps. During summer, when water is scarce, the Ice Stupa melts to increase water supply for crops. Ice Stupa was invented by Sonam Wangchuk in Ladakh (India) and the project is undertaken by the NGO Students' Educational and Cultural Movement of Ladakh. Launched in October 2013, the test project started in January 2014 under the project name The Ice Stupa project. On 15 November 2016, Sonam Wangchuk was awarded the Rolex Awards for Enterprise for his work on Ice Stupa. Ladakh is a cold desert also during winter, agriculture is not practiced due to frozen soil and low air temperatures. During spring season, water requirement for sowing increases whereas streams dry up. With annual rainfall of less than 50 millimetres (2.0 in), agriculture in Ladakh is solely dependent on snow and glacier meltwater. Due to climate change, the region experiences hotter summers with increase in melts along with shift in the timing and precipitation of the melts. Subsequently, during the spring season water is more scarce which in turn impacts agriculture and food supplies. In the month of May, Sonam Wangchuk noticed the ice under a bridge. Despite summer and lowest elevation in Ladakh, the ice had not melted since it was not under direct sunlight. Wangchuk realized ice could last longer in Ladakh if it could be shaded from the sun. Since providing shade to larger water bodies was not possible, Wangchuk thought of freezing and storing water in the shape of a cone that offers minimum surface area to the sun whilst holding high volume of water. In October 2013, Sonam Wangchuk created the first prototype of 6 metres (20 ft) Ice Stupa by freezing 150,000 L (40,000 US gal) in Leh without any shade from the sun. Water was piped from upstream using gravity. Electricity or machinery was not used for pumping water. The Ice Stupa did not melt fully till 18 May 2014, even when the temperature was above 20 °C (68 °F). Ladakh region experiences water shortage for the needs of agriculture during spring season which restricts cultivating period further in a subarctic climate area. By harnessing a fraction of the abundant wind, hydro and solar power potential of the Ladakh region without the need of energy storage, ice stupas can be made using snow cannons to irrigate all the cultivable land with crops, arcades, plantations, etc. With the aim to promote artificial glaciers and save water for irrigation, Ice Stupa Competition is being held since 2019. In 2019, 12 Ice Stupas were built. In 2020 around 25 stupas are being built. (en)

- Lo stupa di ghiaccio è una particolare tecnica per creare dei ghiacciai artificiali, allo scopo di combattere la scarsità d'acqua dell'area himalayana. Questi coni di ghiaccio permettono di immagazzinare l'acqua di fusione, proveniente dai nevai formatisi nel periodo invernale (che altrimenti non sarebbe utilizzata), sotto forma di accumuli di ghiaccio a forma conica. Durante l'estate, quando l'acqua scarseggia, lo stupa di ghiaccio si scioglie lentamente in modo naturale, aumentando la disponibilità di approvvigionamento idrico per le colture. Lo stupa di ghiaccio è stato inventato da Sonam Wangchuk nel Ladakh (India) nell'ambito del progetto gestito dallo Students' Educational and Cultural Movement of Ladakh, una ONG del Ladakh che è iniziato nell'ottobre 2013. Il test iniziale è stato avviato nel gennaio 2014 col nome The Ice Stupa Project. Il 15 novembre 2016, l'inventore ha ricevuto il Rolex Awards for Enterprise per questa sua realizzazione.
