The Ganges and the Indus Rivers, and many smaller ones in Pakistan, India, Bangladesh and Burma and are all fed with melting water from the Himalayas. The water comes from glaciers in the mountains. If global warming melts the glaciers in the Himalayan Mountains as it is beginning to, then these great rivers, that millions of people rely on, will dry up.
Global warming through human emissions are particularly noted in this area as tourists bring fuels in and the tourist trade itself is blamed for a great deal of the melting of these glaciers. (see link)

How is global warming affecting water levels and water supplies?
Global warming is causing ice to melt in glaciers and ice caps. The warming is also expanding ocean water. This is causing sea levels to rise more than usual. Global warming will not affect water supplies, as there is a fixed amount of water on earth, but it may affect their location. Some areas will become drier and others will become wetter. If all the Himalayan glaciers melt, then the great rivers of Asia, like the Ganges and the Mekong, will become much smaller. This will bring water supply problems to many Asian countries.
