Reasons for the increased risk of water resources in arid areas of Central Asia

According to Baidu Encyclopedia, Central Asia is one of the most densely distributed areas of cross-border rivers in the world. Improper management of cross-border rivers and frequent water resources conflicts have seriously restricted the rational allocation of water resources, and are also the main reasons for the intensification of water risks and water crises in Central Asia.

The arid region of Central Asia is the largest non-zonal arid region in the world, with complex terrain and unique climate. It is not only a frequent and recurrent area of meteorological disasters, but also a sensitive and fragile area of climate change.
