a The location of the Tibetan Plateau and the Zonag and Yanhu Lake drainage basins. b Zonag Lake and Kusai Lake, Haidingno’er Lake and Yanhu Lake were separate basins before the dam failure of Zonag Lake in 2011; the light blue areas indicate glaciers. c After the dam failure of Zonag Lake in 2011, the separate basins were merged into a single basin, and three waterways marked by dark blue lines were formed between the four lakes; an artificial drainage channel marked by red was constructed in 2019 between Yanhu Lake and the Qingshui River, which is marked by purple.
