Laguna Miluni is a reservoir fed by glacial meltwater from the Andean peak of Huayna Potosi in the Bolivian Andes, visible in the background. As climate change casuses the glaciers to melt, the water supply for La Paz, Bolivia's capital city is rapidly running dry. The reservoir is also contaminated by mine effluent as well as being at a low level due to the drought.
