Ebinur Lake faces rapid evaporation, urgent need for water management.

Water Management

The climate in Qinghai Lake area is changing, with temperatures rising and rainfall increasing. Evaporation patterns have shifted, leading to changes in water levels and stream flow. Half of the streams flowing into Qinghai Lake have dried up, impacting the overall hydrology of the region. These changes have made the water level variations in Qinghai Lake more complex.
