November 16:

The Xinjiang government will build 59 new reservoirs among the Tianshan, Kunlun, and Altay mountains to store run-off from glaciers melting due to climate change, the official Xinhua News Agency reports. To relieve water shortages and flooding, the reservoirs will collect water from the melting ice in spring and summer and direct it towards irrigation. Xinjiang has large glacial resources but water from melting ice accounts for only 40 percent of the water used by people living in the southern Tianshan Mountains and less for those living in the northern Tianshan Mountains. Construction on the first reservoir in Aratax, Kashi in the Kunlun Mountains began early last month with a total investment of 8.67 billion RMB ($1.37 billion). Xinjiang currently has about 500 reservoirs, but few have been built in mountains to store water from melting glaciers.
