Main Environmental Stresses of the Nine Plateau Lakes 3. Water Scarcity, Low Storage Capacity and Water Supply short of Demand Plateau lakes are generally tectonic fault lakes. Most of them are closed or semi-closed lakes. They are no sufficient water from transit rivers to replenish the lakes water: Per capita water resources (m3/year/person) the nine lakes average 98~1379, Province average national average 5,890 2,480 ● evaporation from lake surface > precipitation lower regulating capacity of shallow lakes, flooding in the wet year and drought in the dry year ⚫ water withdrawn from lake exceed water availability
