Walking through Asia’s water tower – the challenge of climate change on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau

Published

on

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.

Vaal Bulk Bags Highlights Role of Recycled FIBCs in South Africa’s Bulk Packaging Sector

Published

on

Vaal Bulk Bags, based in the Vaal region of Gauteng, outlines how new and recycled Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers (FIBCs) are supporting South Africa’s industrial and agricultural supply chains. The company supplies new, refurbished and bespoke bulk bags to sectors including agriculture, construction, food, recycling and waste management. By purchasing used bags, refurbishing suitable units and supporting polypropylene recycling at end of life, Vaal Bulk Bags contributes to more circular packaging practices while maintaining a focus on quality, reliability and operational efficiency for high-volume material handling.

Vereeniging, Gauteng, South Africa, 24th Feb 2026 – Vereeniging-based bulk packaging specialist Vaal Bulk Bags is drawing attention to the growing role of recycled and refurbished bulk bags in South Africa’s industrial and agricultural value chains, as local businesses seek cost-effective, durable and more sustainable alternatives to conventional packaging and waste-disposal practices.vaalbulkbags.co+2

The company, located in the Vaal region of Gauteng, supplies a broad selection of Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers (FIBCs) and related big bags to sectors ranging from agriculture and construction to food, recycling, retail, skip and waste management. Operating from a warehouse environment geared for immediate dispatch, Vaal Bulk Bags maintains stock of popular FIBC sizes and configurations, enabling rapid response to recurring bulk handling requirements across these industries.farm+3

Vaal Bulk Bags’ offering spans both new and second-hand bags, including recycled and reconditioned options that have been inspected and prepared for reuse. Each used bag undergoes a quality-check process designed to ensure that it is safe and ready for further service, reflecting an operational focus on consistency and reliability. The company also purchases used bags from customers, diverting them from landfill and channeling them back into productive use where appropriate. This buyback and refurbishment activity positions bulk bags not only as a logistics solution, but also as a mechanism for reducing packaging waste and extending material lifecycles.vereeniging.infoisinfo.co+2

On the new bag side of its operations, Vaal Bulk Bags manufactures big bags to international quality standards, including ISO 9001. New FIBCs are produced and supplied in a variety of sizes, strengths and fabric specifications, with options that include different coatings, ventilation properties, filling spouts and lifting arrangements. Configurations such as valve tops, skirt tops and open tops are offered to match distinct filling, discharge and handling requirements in the field. The company’s product range extends from standard builders’ bags up to bags of approximately 2 metres in height, supporting varied payload and volumetric needs in construction, agriculture, waste and other bulk-handling environments.vaalbulkbags.co+2

In addition to standard stock items, Vaal Bulk Bags makes provision for bespoke manufacturing where applications fall outside typical specifications. When an end user requires a specific size, design or combination of features that is not readily available from the warehouse, the company can design and manufacture a batch of bags tailored to those parameters. This capability enables more precise alignment between bag design and on-site operating conditions, such as equipment constraints, material characteristics or stacking and transport requirements.vereeniging.infoisinfo.co+1

The business has, over time, accumulated experience across a spectrum of industries, including agricultural producers, building and civil contractors, food-related operations, recycling and waste firms, and retail-linked warehousing and distribution activities. Bulk bags supplied into these environments are used for materials such as sand, grain, fertilizers, construction aggregates, waste streams and various industrial commodities that must be stored or transported in large, manageable units. Due to their structure and materials, these bags can typically be used multiple times before replacement, contributing to lower packaging costs per cycle and reduced demand for one-way containers.agrifoodsa+3

Environmental considerations are a recurring theme in the way bulk bags are employed and recovered across the market. By promoting reuse and offering recycled and second-hand bags that have been checked for continued suitability, Vaal Bulk Bags participates in a broader shift toward resource efficiency and landfill diversion within the packaging segment. Bulk bags that have reached the end of their usable life can often be directed to appropriate polypropylene recycling channels, where material is processed for alternative applications. This progression—from new manufacture and multiple reuses to eventual material recycling—illustrates how FIBCs can fit into more circular packaging models in the South African context.vaalbulkbags.co+2

From a logistical standpoint, bulk bags offer several operational efficiencies for users. Their collapsible nature reduces storage space when bags are empty, in contrast with rigid containers that occupy a fixed footprint regardless of load status. Standardized footprints and lifting configurations facilitate handling with forklifts, cranes and other equipment commonly found on farms, construction sites and industrial facilities. As a result, organizations can consolidate loose materials into fewer, larger units, improving stacking, transport utilization and on-site housekeeping.agrifoodsa+1

The Vaal region, where Vaal Bulk Bags is based, functions as an industrial corridor linking various manufacturing, processing and logistics operations in Gauteng and surrounding areas. Locating stocking and refurbishment activities within this geography enables the company to respond quickly to demand spikes and maintain short delivery routes to many regional customers. For industries with continuous material flows—such as mining-linked suppliers, agricultural cooperatives or recycling operations—access to ready-to-ship inventory of bulk bags can help limit disruptions related to packaging availability.farm+2

Vaal Bulk Bags reports that it places emphasis on the quality of both its products and its customer support. Staff members are available to assist organizations that are uncertain about which bag configurations may be most suitable for their specific use cases, including guidance on size selection, fabric options and handling characteristics. This consultative element plays a role when businesses evaluate whether standard stock items will be adequate, or whether a bespoke design might better address operational or safety considerations.vaalbulkbags.co+2

The company’s activities align with broader trends within South Africa’s flexible packaging and bulk handling segments, where FIBCs and similar solutions are increasingly adopted to manage large volumes of materials in a controlled, repeatable manner. As sectors such as construction, agriculture, mining and manufacturing continue to demand packaging that is both robust and adaptable, bulk bags have become a familiar sight across worksites, warehouses and transport networks. Within this environment, Vaal Bulk Bags continues to focus on supplying new and recycled bags, maintaining inventory and offering bespoke manufacturing to support the evolving requirements of these industries.digitaljournal+4
