Spatial Difference of Terrestrial Water Storage Change and Lake Water Storage Change in the Inner Tibetan Plateau

Abstract: Water resources are rich on the Tibetan Plateau, with large amounts of glaciers, lakes, and permafrost. Terrestrial water storage (TWS) on the Tibetan Plateau has experienced a significant change in recent decades. However, there is a lack of research about the spatial difference between TWSC and lake water storage change (LWSC), which is helpful to understand the response of water storage to climate change. In this study, we estimate the change in TWS, lake water storage (LWS), soil moisture, and permafrost, … Show more

“…Although declining GWS seemed to contradict lake expansions in the Inner Plateau, the increasing GWS was consistent with upward lake volume in the northern Inner Plateau (Wang, Wang, Li, et al, 2021). Besides, our results have the same spatial pattern of GWS trends as Qiao et al (2021) with declining and increasing trends in the northern and southern Inner Plateau (Figure 2a), respectively. The downward GWS in the southern Inner Plateau may leak out by cross-basin groundwater flow through tensional fractures and deep normal faults (Yong et al, 2021).…”

“…In the Qaidam, our results showed an increasing GWS (0.66 ± 0.13 Gt/yr) in 2003-2016, which (Jiang et al, 2020;Xu et al, 2022), which are in agreement with our results. Leaving aside other factors, GWS changes in our study and Qiao et al (2021) should be more reasonable as current studies use the updated GRACE products.…”

“…The lake fluoride value showed the same decrease, which may be related to the increase in lake water storage for decades caused by climate change—the increasing trend of air temperature and precipitation in the Tibet Plateau from 1975 to 2016 (Yan et al 2018 ). Other researchers have also revealed that major ions decreased in response to regional climatic change in Tibetan lakes (Qiao et al 2021 ; Yan et al 2018 ).

“…Moreover, several important rivers in Southeast Asia, such as the Ganges, Indus and Salween rivers, originate in this region. The TP is considered the “Asian Water Tower”, providing fresh water for nearly one-third of the world’s population (Qiao et al 2021 ) and playing a vital role in maintaining human health and economic and social development. The water quality of the TP has a profound influence not only on China but also on all of Southeast Asia.…”
