AbstractWe describe changes in glaciers of the Balkhash-Alakol basin, central Asia, and analyse unified glacier inventories of the Zailiyskiy-Kungei and Jungar glacier systems and the Chinese part of the Ili river basin, as well as mass-balance monitoring data from Tsentralniy Tuyuksu glacier for the period 1957-2014. In spite of significant inter-basin differences, glaciation of the three glacial systems in the Ili river basin within Kazakhstan as well as within Chinese territory is changing simultaneously and similarly. Differences in the rates of glacier degradation are small and are affected primarily by the orientation of the flanks of the mountain ridges. Since the mid-1950s, glaciation of the region has remained degraded and, on average over the period examined, glaciers shrank at a rate of about 0.8% a-1 in area and about 1 % a-1 in ice volume. Glacial systems in large basins such as Balkhash-Alakol change simultaneously, linearly and at similar rates. The average rates of glacier reduction of the Zailiyskiy-Kungei, Jungar and upper Ili glacier systems for the period 1955/56-2008 amounted to 0.76%, 0.75% and 0.73% a-1 respectively.

Water resources are increasingly under stress in Central Asia because downstream countries are highly dependent on upstream countries. Water is essential for irrigation and is becoming scarcer due to climate change and human activities. Based on 20 hydrological stations, this study firstly analyzed the annual and seasonal spatial–temporal changes of the river discharges, precipitation, and temperature in the Syr Darya River Basin and then the possible relationships between these factors were detected. Finally, the potential reasons for the river discharge variations have been discussed. The results show that the river discharges in the upper stream of the basin had significantly risen from 1930 to 2006, mainly due to the increase in temperature (approximately 0.3 °C per decade), which accelerated the melting of glaciers, while it decreased in the middle and lower regions due to the rising irrigation. In the middle of the basin, the expansion of the construction land (128.83 km2/year) and agricultural land (66.68 km2/year) from 1992 to 2015 has significantly augmented the water consumption. The operations of reservoirs and irrigation canals significantly intercepted the river discharge from the upper streams, causing a sharp decline in the river discharges in the middle and lower reaches of the Syr Darya River in 1973. The outcomes obtained from this study allowed us to understand the changes in the river discharges and provided essential information for effective water resource management in the Syr Darya River Basin.

Using Data

Water is a scarce resource in Central Asia, and many catchments span international boundaries, among them that of the Ili River, which is shared by China and Kazakhstan. Since 1970, the natural hydrological regime of the Ili River, both absolute flow rates and cycles, has changed due to construction of reservoirs such as that at Kapchagai, as well as natural climatic cycles and the growth of water consumption in the basin. Using data from Kazhydromet, we calculated that flow rates below Kapchagai dam averaged 468 m3/sec before construction of the dam, 366 m3/sec while the reservoir was being filled, and 489 m3/sec between 1988 and 2013. The dam has profoundly altered the annual cycle of flows in the river, with reductions in the summer and increases in the winter, when water is released to produce hydropower. The effects of these changes are being heightened by China’s increasing diversion of the river’s water. The sustainable use of decreasing water resources to conserve the biodiversity of the Ili-Balkhash basin’s ecosystems mandates a solution to the water allocation challenge between China and Kazakhstan. This will require a basin-wide approach that includes modernization of water distribution systems and careful consideration to relative priority needs for food, hydropower, and communal uses in both countries.
