Outburst flood hazard: case studies from the Tien-Shan Mountains, Kyrgyzstan

Original language description

More than 2000 of mountain lakes covering more than 0.1 hectare exist in a territory of Kyrgyzstan. Nearly 20 % of them are dangerous because of instability of lake dams, frequent overflows and melting of buried ice inside the moraine dams. According tothe Kyrgyz lake inventory, 328 lakes are at risk of outburst and 12 lakes are considered as actually dangerous. Since 1952 more than 70 disastrous cases of lake outbursts have occurred. The majority of the endangered lakes belong to one of the three genetic types: morainic-glacier, supraglacial and lake dammed by landslides and debris-flows. Petrov, Adygine and Koltor lakes were selected and studied in the Tien-Shan Mountains as case studies of the most frequent genetic types of hazardous lakes. Observations were focused on the morphology of the lake basin and the surrounding relief, outflow pattern and processes controlling the development of lake.
