Walking through Asia’s water tower – the challenge of climate change on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau
Article·Hengduan Mountain Research Society
As a global meteorological outpost, the mechanism and influence of climate change on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau are complicated. In October 1998,he led the “Yarlung Zangbo River scientific rafting expedition”， drifted 1,600 kilometers from the Jiemayangzong Glacier in Zhongba County, Tibet, the source of the Yarlung Zangbo River, to Pai Township (today’s Pai Town) in Mainling County. After that, he crossed the Grand Canyon on foot and spent 35 days crossing the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon. In 2010, he launched another bold project, “Asian Water Tower — International River Survey on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau” and spent six months visiting a majority of international rivers on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Although he had explored most of the rivers on the Tibetan Plateau over the past 20 years, in this mission, he did a systematic, complete, inch-by-inch survey of the headwaters of Asian great rivers that originate on the Tibetan Plateau.
During the investigation, he felt the benefits that the implementation of the River Chief System in recent years has brought to the protection of both water resources and the relevant environment on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and he could clearly see the efforts of climate actions such as the layout of clean energy and de-coaling. But the unprovoked accusations, such as artificial rainfall on the Tibetan plateau, are always discouraging. Regardless of the standpoint of science, the well-rounded artificial rainfall, as a very scientific and rigorous scientific practice, has been used in the United States, Australia and other countries. However, many people still believe that artificial rainfall is to release some cold air into the clouds. The most important fact is that the Tibetan Plateau region of China has a small population and the natural ecology has been able to meet the need of local living conditions. Therefore, large-scale artificial rainfall has no practical application scenario and practical significance at all. To top it all off, some people believe that China is just competing with India for rainwater.
he have heard similar rumors and prejudices at many South Asian Non-governmental organizations’ symposium on international rivers. Most of the participants remarked, “It is amazing how little the media of each country knows about its neighbors.” In this environment of lack of communication and political suspicion, debate is often driven by lack of information and political smear, and alarmist media reports are more likely to fan the flames of national conflicts.
There has always been controversy around the discussion of climate change, especially the various claims of the scientific interpretation of the mechanism of climate change. What is even more puzzling is that negotiations on climate action, without strong scientific support, seem to only strive for profit, and humanity will lose its way if it continues like this. The scientific community has long believed that the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is the frontier of the earth science, with many key issues to be broken through. Tackling climate change will be futile or even disastrous before it is solved.
What are the main causes of climate change and glacier melting on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau? In recent years, some researchers have suggested that when the solar system moves out of the Quaternary Ice Age and into a higher background energy field, it is the cause of the temperature rise. However, he believe that the temperature rise at the altitude of 5,000 to 6,000 meters is mainly caused by the fact that a large amount of greenhouse gases emitted by human beings absorb heat in the atmosphere of the Tibetan Plateau in the atmospheric circulation. Therefore, they should face and share the responsibility together instead of making groundless accusations against any one country in order to deal with climate change on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and even over the whole world.
Vice President of the United States Harris pointed out recently, the war for water resources will come soon. In he’s opinion, both water resources and the influence of global warming on the Tibetan Plateau are a fait accompli, the unilateral effort of each country is only a temporary solution. Environmental protection is not just a matter of pure science, but if there is too much political manipulation and rancour involved, the problem gets trickier. The growth of all creatures depends on harmony. China and south Asian countries around the Tibetan Plateau create a new win-win cooperation of climate governance in such aspects as scientific research, the meteorological disaster warning, can not only monitor the secondary disasters caused by climate change, to avoid the life and property loss. More importantly, a collaborative and vivid climate action can provide the international community with a set of effective experiences that can be replicated in climate governance.
Climate change is already causing serious environmental problems on the Tibetan Plateau and the Brahmaputra River basin as I have proposed many times in international seminars. The international community should build consensus and join hands in tackling these threats especially the neighboring countries. Partha J. Das, a scientist from the Indian NGO Aaranyak, also pointed out at the symposium that these warnings apply to the Indian government as well. The Indian government plans to build 70 water projects on the upper reaches of the Brahmaputra River. China and India need face the common threats in cooperation. Referred to the outburst floods from the upper reaches of the Brahmaputra in June 2000, Das said: “Most of the damage could have been avoided if the media in both China and India had reported it widely.” Obviously, China and India are both on the same page at environmental and climatic changes on the Tibetan Plateau. He also claimed that China and India should enhance cooperation on flood early warning both in the Government and Non-governmental, signing a bilateral agreement and sharing hydrological observation data.

A failed hydraulic hose can bring valuable machinery to a standstill, prompting Completely Hydraulic to highlight the growing importance of mobile repair support across London and the South East.
Essex, United Kingdom, 9th Sep 2026 – For a construction company, warehouse operator or industrial business, the failure of a relatively small hydraulic hose can have consequences far greater than the cost of the component itself.
An excavator can stop digging. A loading machine can become unusable. Access equipment can be immobilised. Work can slow or stop while a business waits for the machinery to be repaired.
It is a problem Completely Hydraulic has been dealing with for more than two decades, and one that has helped shape the company’s mobile approach to hydraulic breakdowns across London and the South East.
Instead of automatically requiring failed hydraulic equipment to be transported to a workshop, the company sends hydraulic engineers directly to construction sites, warehouses, industrial premises and other locations where machinery has broken down.
Its emergency hydraulic hose repair operation is designed around a simple principle: when an essential machine has stopped working, taking the repair capability to the machine can be the most practical way of helping a customer get moving again.
Hydraulic hoses operate under demanding conditions and can fail through age-related deterioration, abrasion, damaged fittings, heat or excessive movement. Although a failed hose may appear to be a relatively straightforward component failure, its position within a hydraulic system means the effect on the machine can be immediate.
For businesses working to schedules, deadlines or production targets, the resulting downtime can quickly become more significant than the original repair.
Daren Partridge, spokesperson for Completely Hydraulic, said: “When a hydraulic hose fails, the hose itself is often only a small part of the customer’s problem. What really matters to them is that a machine has stopped, people may be waiting and a job isn’t getting done.
“That is why mobile hydraulic engineering is so important. If we can take an experienced engineer and the appropriate repair capability to the equipment, we have a much better opportunity to help the customer deal with the breakdown without unnecessary delay.”
Completely Hydraulic’s engineers can assess a hose failure at the customer’s location, identify the hose and fittings required and, where circumstances allow, manufacture and install a replacement hydraulic hose assembly.
The engineer can also consider what may have contributed to the failure. Abrasion against another component, unsuitable routing, deterioration or damage around fittings can sometimes provide useful clues as to why a hose has failed.
This wider engineering capability has become increasingly important as construction, industrial and logistics businesses continue to rely on hydraulically operated machinery.
Construction plant, excavators, cranes, piling equipment, access machinery, loading equipment and industrial systems are among the many applications where hydraulic failure can have an immediate operational impact.
Completely Hydraulic has been operating since 2004 and today supports customers through locations serving London, Essex, Kent and the Heathrow area, including operations in Dagenham, Harlow, Belvedere and Hayes.
The company’s mobile hydraulic engineering service is supported by its workshop and trade counter operations, allowing Completely Hydraulic to deal with requirements extending beyond an individual hose failure.
These include hydraulic hose assemblies, pumps, valves, manifolds, power packs, accumulators, diagnostics, oil filtration and flushing, preventative maintenance and hydraulic ram and cylinder repairs.
Partridge believes the value of an emergency hydraulic service ultimately comes down to understanding what a breakdown means to the customer.
“Nobody plans for a hose to fail in the middle of a working day,” he said. “The customer wants to know that there is somebody they can call who understands hydraulic equipment and can come to them.
“After more than 20 years in hydraulics, keeping machinery moving remains at the heart of what we do.”
With businesses across construction, transport, manufacturing, warehousing and infrastructure continuing to depend heavily on hydraulic equipment, Completely Hydraulic says mobile engineering will remain a central part of its operation throughout London and the South East.

Sergey Baburov and the Coffee Navigator team to attend International Coffee Week in Trieste
Kazakhstan, 8th Sep 2026 – Sergey Baburov and the team behind the Coffee Navigator analytics platform plan to attend TriestEspresso Expo 2026, which will take place in Trieste, Italy, on October 21–23. The team will focus on the development of private-label coffee production and its impact on local market structures.
Sergey Baburov and the Coffee Navigator team
TriestEspresso Expo is an international B2B trade show dedicated to espresso and the coffee industry. Exhibitors include green coffee suppliers, roasting companies, equipment manufacturers, packaging providers, and service companies.
In 2026, the organizers will introduce private label as a dedicated area for the first time under the name Custom Coffee Industry. The section is designed to bring manufacturers together with buyers from retail, hospitality and foodservice, distribution, and e-commerce.
For Coffee Navigator, this segment is of particular interest as an indicator of market development. The team plans to examine contract manufacturing models, minimum order quantities, opportunities for custom recipe development and packaging, as well as differences in requirements across retail, HoReCa, and e-commerce channels.
The main objectives of the visit are to:
- study cooperation models between brand owners and contract manufacturers;
- compare product and packaging requirements across different sales channels;
- assess how contract manufacturing can make it easier to launch new coffee brands;
- collect data for further analysis of local coffee markets.
“Private label is often seen simply as another product category. What interests us more is what sits behind it: how easy it is for a company to launch a new product, how much of the process is handled by the manufacturer, and what different sales channels expect from suppliers. These details can reveal a great deal about how a market is structured and how developed it is,” says Sergey Baburov, founder of Coffee Navigator.
The team plans to compare the data collected at the exhibition with the indicators Coffee Navigator already uses to assess local markets. Following the visit, the company will prepare an analytical summary on the development of private label in the coffee industry and its potential impact on the emergence of new brands and the level of market competition.
