How was it me?

manme ice stupas were me by allowing water to fall on cone-shaped net structures from a certain height. As water starts freezing on net, more water is ded to increase size of cone, which makes it a structure that looks like a Buddhist stupa. Since it is a natural ice structure, it is bound to melt. But it is said that cafe will stay put until mid-May 2020. water will n be drawn to tanks and would be utilised to feed planted land using drip irrigation.
