6 FAQs about [Central asia water storage]
Is there a long-term monitoring of lake water storage change in Central Asia?
As most lakes in Central Asia lack in situ monitoring data, and satellite altimetry records are relatively short-term, the continuous long-term monitoring of lake water storage change (LWSC) in Central Asia is inadequate.
What is the water storage depletion rate in Central Asia?
3.6.1. Decreasing TWSA values in the three GRACE satellite datasets Based on the annual average TWSA values from the three GRACE satellite datasets, the total water storage depletion in the arid regions of Central Asia is −4.74 mm/a, which was equivalent to a water loss rate of −28.76 Gt/a between 2003 and 2016 (Table S7 ).
What is water management in Central Asia?
A large part of the water that flows from the Pamir and Tian Shan Mountains to the Aral Sea is used mainly for irrigation (primarily cotton), followed by industry and public supply . A water management challenge in Central Asia is a conflict of interests between upstream and downstream countries.
What are the environmental problems in Central Asia?
Overall, the vast region generally suffers from scarce water resources and a fragile ecological environment 9, 10. The largest water bodies of Central Asia are Aral Sea, and Issyk-kul Lake, Balkhash Lake (Table 1). Location of the study area.
How does water demand affect the environment in Central Asia?
In the arid regions of Central Asia, the heightened water demand and the declining TWS may result in serious environmental and ecological issues, such as groundwater depletion, water pollution, and desertification (Deng et al., 2010a, Deng et al., 2010b ).
Does Central Asia have an integrated water and energy system?
An open-access, integrated water and energy system model of Central Asia is developed. Central Asia's energy transition to a high share of renewable energy by 2050 is analyzed. Model for Energy Supply Systems Alternatives and their General Environmental Impact 1. Introduction
