State Joint Stock Holding Company Barki Tochik and S 3. REPUBLIC OF TAJIKISTAN 3.1. Optimization of Use of Water and Energy Resources in the Syrdarya Basin Under Current Conditions, G. Petrov and S. Navruzov G. Petrov, Vice-President, State Joint Stock Holding Company Barki Tochik and S. Navruzov, Head, Water Resources Department, Ministry of Reclamation and Water Economy Republic of Tajikistan 1.1 Water Resources of the Syr Darya Basin Kairakkum Reservoir is the only big reservoir of Tajikistan located in the Syr Darya basin and being a part of the multiple-purpose hydrocomplex. The Kairakkum hydrocomplex was put into operation in 1957. Tables 1-5 present the reservoir water balances with all components for years typical for water availability. Main characteristics attributed to the reservoir operation mode for 1987-1999 is given in Table 6 and may be used in future calculations. Note 1. The balances presented in the report should not be regarded as a basis for calculations as in the years concerned the Kairakkum hydrocomplex operated in the irrigation mode and did not meet the interests of Tajikistan that was not offered any appropriate compensation. 2. The balances demonstrate big discrepancy if to take into account the reservoir water storage. It means that the basic water release and storage data are not sufficiently accurate to build a mathematical model and require correction in the future. 103 Table 1 Water Balance of Kairakkum HPP’s

There have been negative spillover effects in agriculture. This study aims to assess the climate change impacts on cropland Citation: Park, S.; Lim, C.-H.; Kim, suitability in Kyrgyzstan. We used the random forest algorithm to develop a model that captures the S.J.; Isaev, E.; Choi, S.-E.; Lee, S.-D.; effects of multiple climate and environment factors at a spatial resolution of 1 km2. The model was Lee, W.-K. Assessing Climate Change then applied in the scenario analysis for an understanding of how climate change affects cropland Impact on Cropland Suitability in distribution.

  • Simulating Water Resource Availability Under Data Scarcity—A Case Study for the Ferghana Valley (Central Asia)

External Editor: Richard Skeffington Received: 17 June 2014; in revised form: 29 September 2014 / Accepted: 14 October 2014 / Published: 30 October 2014 Abstract: Glaciers and snowmelt supply the Naryn and Karadarya rivers, and about 70% of the water available for the irrigated agriculture in the Ferghana Valley. Nineteen smaller catchments contribute the remaining water mainly from annual precipitation. The latter will gain importance if glaciers retreat as predicted. Hydrological models can visualize such climate change impacts on water resources. However, poor data availability often hampers simulating the contributions of smaller catchments. We tested several data pre-processing methods (gap filling, MODAWEC (MOnthly to DAily WEather Converter), lapse rate) and their effect on the performance of the HBV (Hydrologiska Byråns Vattenavdelning)-light model.
