The accumulation of snow in the mountainous regions of the Syr Darya and Amu Darya river basins plays a crucial role in regional water availability, impacting agriculture, hydropower, and overall water security. Our latest LinkedIn article provides an in-depth analysis of snow accumulation trends from October 2024 to January 2025, highlighting key findings from the SnowMapper model.
Key Insights:
- Below-Normal Snow Reserves: January 2025 recorded below-average precipitation, leading to reduced snow water equivalent (SWE) levels across all monitored sub-basins.
- Regional Variability: While some basins, such as Charvak and Naryn, experienced above-normal precipitation early in the season, accumulation rates declined at the beginning of 2025.
- Critical Implications: With only two months remaining before the growing season, further monitoring of precipitation and SWE trends is essential to anticipate water availability for spring and summer.
