Due to global climate change, high temperatures and heavy precipitation in all high-altitude zones of the mountainous regions of Kazakhstan have led to mudslides, landslides and avalanches.
During the avalanche danger period, on the recommendation of Kazselezashchita specialists, 207 avalanches were registered in closed or remote areas, the total mass of snow was 1.1 million m3, which is 17 cases more than in 2023. 127 preventive measures were carried out, as a result of which more than 225 thousand m3 of snow mass were independently dumped.
Frequent rains and high temperatures in the summer months led to an intense flow of water from glaciers in mountainous areas, excessive inflow of water into glacial lakes, as well as high water losses in mountain riverbeds.
Many glaciers in the central and peripheral regions of the Trans–Ili Alatau were in a very weakened state - deep explosions formed in the lower parts of the glaciers, especially along the water surface of lakes, caves and depressions. The fall of ice masses in the last parts of the glaciers into the basins of the lake caused small waves in the glacial lakes. That is, active thermokarst and thermoerosion processes were observed in mountainous areas.
Observers of the hydraulic posts and specialists constantly monitored the situation on glacial-glacial complexes and riverbeds. Aerial and ground surveys, reconnaissance work using quadrocopters were carried out, and orthophotographs were taken.
In order to reduce the level of 15 dangerous glacial lakes in Almaty, Almaty and Zhetysu regions to safe levels, preventive work has been carried out.
The work carried out on glacial lakes has significantly reduced the risk of mudflows and prevented the formation of mudflows.
