Vanishing Glaciers at Southeast Tibetan Plateau Have Not Offset the Declining Runoff at Yarlung Zangbo

Yuanwei Wang et al.

Summary: Research indicates that glacier retreat has accelerated in the eastern Himalayas in recent years, but changes in the distribution of water within the Yarlung Zangbo basin have been observed. Limited glacier melt is mainly occurring in the dry upstream areas, while a larger proportion of snow melt is occurring in the humid downstream areas.

Base flow in the Yarlungzangbo River, Tibet, maintained by the isotopically-depleted precipitation and groundwater discharge

Hongbing Tan et al.

Summary: The extension-induced rift systems on the Tibetan Plateau may convey groundwater to rivers, with 27% to 40% of the flow in the Yarlungzangbo River contributed by groundwater from NE-SW-trending rifts in the middle reach. Isotopic and chemical compositions of the waters suggest modification by a variety of possible origins, such as glacier melt and groundwater discharge, pointing to paleo-precipitation as a significant source.

Effects of streamflow isotope sampling strategies on the calibration of a tracer-aided rainfall-runoff model

Jamie Lee Stevenson et al.

Summary: Isotopes are increasingly used in rainfall-runoff models to reduce model uncertainty. This study found that sufficient characterization of catchment functioning can be obtained through reduced sampling effort over longer timescales and targeting high flows during sampling.

Estimating the sources of stream water in snow dominated catchments of western Himalayas

Altaf Lone et al.

Summary: The study uses delta O-18 and d-excess to identify and estimate different sources of streamflow in the western Himalayas, finding that the isotopic composition of different source waters varies over space and time. Snow and snowpack dominantly contribute to streamflow during high flow periods, while groundwater maintains flow during lean periods.

A meta-analysis based review of quantifying the contributions of runoff components to streamflow in glacierized basins

Zhihua He et al.

Summary: This article presents a meta-analysis on different approaches for quantifying runoff components in glacierized basins, with the hydrological modeling approach being most commonly used. Different basin characteristics significantly influence the contributions of different runoff components, while different definitions of runoff components based on water-input or flow-pathway also affect the results. The tracer-based method tends to have larger uncertainties compared to hydrological modeling.

The value of water isotope data on improving process understanding in a glacierized catchment on the Tibetan Plateau

Yi Nan et al.

Summary: This study integrated a water isotope module into THREW hydrological model, successfully used in high and cold regions. Different water inputs/stores' O-18 isotopic features were simulated, coupled with runoff generation. The study demonstrates the importance of isotope data in improving process understanding in a glacierized basin on the Tibetan Plateau.
