June 2nd, 2018: Stupas
In many parts of the world the people get the water they need to survive from melting winter snow pack and glaciers high on
the mountains. But some mountains like in South America and the Himalayas have a dry side that never see enough winter moisture to sustain the villages through the summer. Voilà, Stupas, home made glaciers. Quote:

"...high up the mountains, usually 60 meters or more,"
What is that supposed to be? Great idea. I love passive systems, like this and siphons, true gifts from nature. |

I believe that's 60 meters above the stupas.

6000 meters in distance might work.
Since they are already "high in the Himalayas" 6000 meters in elevation seems too much. |

60 meters would give enough head to shoot the water high in the air.

It must have taken millions of years for a pipe to form in the rock at the locations needed. Thats awesome.

My problem with the description above: "An underground pipe brings water from high up the mountains, usually 60 meters or more," turns out not to be the 60 meters, but "from high up in the mountains."
The top of the pipe is indeed only 60 m, giving enough head (behave yourselves) for a possible 60 m stupa, but the distance may be less than a mile away. http://icestupa.org/about |

Don't forget the village is also high up in the mountains.

The villagers may be high, too.
