The chapter enumerates the importance of glaciers on global climate, livelihood, economics, and their hydrological implications. Climate warming has raised an alarming signal on water reserves, especially on Earth's cryosphere that acts as hydrological insurance for glacier-fed rivers and a key driver for the ocean ecosystem through their freshwater supply and salinity regulation. Key issues have been discussed to understand the cryosphere system and its effect on the hydrological systems.
