  • Evaluation of Hydrological Processes (Floods, High Water, Lateral Erosion and Mudflows) in the Kara-Unkyur River Basin (Kyrgyzstan)
    Central Asian Journal of Water Research (2017) 3(1): 43-53 Special Issue on Water Hazards in Central Asia © The Author(s) 2017. Evaluation of hydrological processes (floods, high water, lateral erosion and mudflows) in the Kara-Unkyur River Basin (Kyrgyzstan) Moldobekov B. D. Central-Asian Institute for Applied Geosciences (CAIAG) ([email protected]) Abdibachaev U. A. Central-Asian Institute for Applied Geosciences (CAIAG) Kalashnikova O. Ju. Central-Asian Institute for Applied Geosciences (CAIAG) Abstract Almost in all river basins of Central Asia, with the onset of spring, the probability of natural disasters, such as floods, high water and related lateral erosion, increases. Especially, these phenomena often occur in large river basins of Fergana Valley, Kyrgyz ridge and Trans-Ili Alatau. The aim of this study was to identify vulnerable areas affected by erosion processes in the course of disastrous floods and high water in order to take preventive measures for protection of settlements, their territories and infrastructure. To identify vulnerable areas affected by erosion processes in the Kara-Unkyur River Basin, a complex of field methods of ground-based observation was implemented with the use of Remote Sensing (RS) data. Based on the obtained data, a degree of manifestation of exogenous geological processes was analyzed and evaluated. Recommendations for decision- making were elaborated and submitted to the state authorities (Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Kyrgyz Republic, MES). Keywords: catastrophic floods, erosion processes, Kara-Unkur River, remote sensing, hydrological processes. 1. Introduction Occurrence and development of hazardous hydrological events, such as floods, high water and lateral erosion, are determined by a set of natural conditions and a sum of development factors.

HIGHLIGHTS/KEY PRIORITIES Flash Appeal for Kyrgyzstan calls for US$71 million to assist over 1 million people Kyrgyz forces have begun removing barriers in Osh Official reports of returns of refugees to Kyrgyzstan Assessment mission in Uzbekistan finds Government response well organized, but additional support is needed The volume of emergency supplies arriving at Andijan is increasing II. Situation Overview Kyrgyz forces began removing barriers in the city of Osh in southern Kyrgyzstan on 20 June, but reports indicate that obstacles still lie in the streets leading to several neighbourhoods. Communities have barricaded themselves inside Osh since the outbreak of violence 10 June. Overall, the situation remains tense and humanitarian access to the most affected regions in the south continues to be limited. The Government has extended the state of emergency in the Osh province districts of Uzgen and Aravan until 25 June. The security situation is still the main obstacle for humanitarian aid delivery. According to UNOSAT’s initial satellite imagery analysis there are 2,000 to 3,000 houses destroyed in Osh, most in residential areas. There has been little cross-border movement reported in the last 24 hours. The Kyrgyz Border Guard Service has reported that a total of 4,559 ethnic Uzbek nationals of Kyrgyzstan have returned to the country – most of these were returning to Kadamjay district in Batken province on 18-19 June.
