    Kyrgyzstan faces dire water crisis as glaciers rapidly melt, warns expert

    Kyrgyzstan faces dire water crisis as glaciers rapidly melt, warns expert

    Nurlan Nabiev, the Director of the project focused on enhancing the resilience of water resources in Kyrgyzstan to climate change and natural disasters, has expressed concern about the accelerated melting of glaciers in the region, predicting even more drastic melting in the future, 24.kg reports.

    He emphasized the alarming rate at which glaciers are disappearing, particularly in the Talas River basin, where glaciers have nearly vanished. Nabiev pointed out that this rapid glacier loss will have significant repercussions, impacting the filling of the Kirov Reservoir and leading to water shortages in the area, including neighboring Kazakhstan.

    Nabiev also highlighted the concerning state of the Orto-Tokoy reservoir. He painted a grim picture of the future, suggesting that in time, people may visit Kyrgyzstan solely to breathe fresh air, implying the severity of environmental challenges.

    In August, social media users shared images of the Orto-Tokoy reservoir depicting its dwindling water levels.

    Almazbek Sokeev, Director of the Water Resources Service, provided some context, attributing the low water levels to reduced water flow from mountain rivers in the Chui region. Consequently, the Orto-Tokoy reservoir had to bear the primary burden for irrigation. Sokeev further explained that similar low water levels in Orto-Tokoy were observed in the past, specifically in 2008, 2014, and 2021.

    As per the data from Kazhydromet, as of August 2, the Orto-Tokoy reservoir contained only 8.55mn m³ of water, a significant drop from the 68.8mn m³ recorded in 2022. The Orto-Tokoy reservoir is situated on the Chu River, near the village of Orto-Tokoy, bordering the Naryn and Issyk-Kul regions.
