Abstract

The Zaravshan river in Central Asia is trans-boundary river originating in Tajikistan mountains and flowing to Uzbekistan. Main source of the river flow is the glacier-snow melt, and 97% of runoff is generated in the upstream part (Tajikistan). The climate of the downstream part is mostly arid and semi-arid, and 94% of water is consumed in Uzbekistan mainly for cotton farm irrigation in summer. Previously, it was a tributary of the Amudarya river, however due to intensive irrigation use, nowadays it disappears in the Kyzylkum desert. This study aims to physically analyze the available water resources of the Zaravshan river basin for the past and future climate condition to provide the scientific basis to the water resources development plan in this river basin. The results of the land surface analysis with super high-resolution global climate model (MRI-AGCM3.2S) indicate that annual total runoff at Dupli station will increase around 2Gt.
