In Peru, home to 70% of the Earth's tropical glaciers, water is a dire issue. The country's glaciers, which feed hydroelectric plants and provide drinking water, in the main, to the country's capital lima - the world's second largest desert city after Cairo - are in the process of accelerated melting due to global warming.rnBy 2007, according to the Glaciological Unit of Peru's National Resources Institute (INRENA), the Broggi Glacier, located atop the Cordillera Blanca - the largest glacier chain in the Tropics -had completely disappeared.
