H S NEGI H S GUSAIN TAMANNA DHAHIYA ANANT KUMAR
The Himalayan cryosphere system is a major source of freshwater supply for the Indian subcontinent. The
rivers originating from the Himalaya are strongly influenced by the behaviour of glaciers depending upon
the regional climatic variables. Therefore, understanding the mass budget of glaciers is important. In the
present study, we discuss the hydrological mass balance of the largest Siachen glacier in the Karakoram
range. The computations of runoff and other parameters on such a large glacier are challenging due to
data scarcity, difficult accessibility and complex topography of the region. The snowmelt runoff model
(SRM) coupled with
