In the version of this article initially published, there was a misstatement in the third paragraph, fourth sentence, now reading in part, “Now hundreds of farmers and villagers in this cold, arid desert use the ice stupas to save the water that flows in autumn,” where “hundreds” has replaced “dozens.”. In the fifth from last paragraph, “University of Applied Sciences in Lucerne” has replaced “….Life Sciences.”
After this article was published, a highly relevant paper followed, which is now referenced to enhance understanding. It is cited in the eighth paragraph, following the quote “‘Seventy-eight percent of the water used is lost during the ice stupa formation,’ said Balasubramanian6,” and provided below. The changes have been made to the HTML and PDF versions of the article.
