   Why do Tibetan rivers flow into the most populous regions of the world?

   • Tibet’s rivers flow into the most populous regions of the world, supplying fresh water to a significant proportion of Asia’s population (see Table 1) Tibetan rivers are distinguished by their high silt loads resulting from the largely desert landscape from which they originate.

   Will the Tibetan Plateau experience a large net water loss?

   • Future projections of TWS suggest that the entire Tibetan Plateau could experience a large net water loss. Excessive water declines, particularly in the Amu Darya and Indus river basins, represent major threats to the stability of such vulnerable ‘water towers’ and to the water supply security of populated downstream areas.

   Will water supply decline over the Tibetan Plateau by 2060?

   • Nature Climate Change 12 , 785–786 ( 2022) Cite this article Terrestrial water storage over the Tibetan Plateau is projected to sustain large net declines by 2060. Excess water losses in the Amu Darya and Indus basins present the most critical threats of water supply shortage in this region.

   How much water does Tibet get a year?

   • Net hydro-logical flows in Tibet total 627 cubic km per year. This comprises roughly six per cent of Asia’s annual runoff and 34 per cent of India’s total river water resources.

   What are some outstanding research topics in hydrology of the Tibetan Plateau?

   • Outstanding research topics in hydrology of the Tibetan Plateau are identified. The Tibetan Plateau (TP). The TP exerts great influence on regional and global climate through thermal and mechanical forcings. The TP is also the headwater of large Asian rivers that provide water for billions of people and numerous ecosystems.
