The drainage area is 12 816 km2 above Shehel Hydrological Station(Aksu River,China) in Sary Jaz -Kumarik River Basin in which glacier area occupies 25% with an area of 3 195.41 km2. The Glacier runoff is about 895 mm,river runoff is 381^3 mm. Ice melt contributed about 58^65% of the total runoff in the Shehel hydrological Station,so the effects of changes in glacier meltwater on water resources is very vital. The mean annual runoff is 48^64×108 m3 in the period of 1957—2006. The mean annual runoff is increasing dramatically since 1993. The mean annual runoff increased by 10^56×108 m3,also is 23% in 1994—2006 than one in 1957—1993. As a result of a large number of glacier ice melting which were accumulated in the past,by preliminary calculations,mass balance wastages supply additionally 309^47×108 m3,an increase of 6^19×108 m3,about 13% of annual runoff to the river due to climate warming in the past 50 years. The supply additionally of glacier melt is 5^3×108 m3,and occupies 11% of the mean annual river runoff in 1957—1993,and is 8^8×108 m3 and 18% in 1994—2006. With climate warming,although precipitation increasing,glaciers is more sensitive to temperature,the glacial meltwater will be increasing continually.To presume a little change in glacier area in the future,the temperature rise 4 ℃,precipitation increased by 25 mm in 2071—2100,an average annual runoff will be 66^2 × 108 m3,which increases by 19^75 ×108 m3 and the rate of increase is 43% than 1960—1990,and increases by 11^75×108 m3 and 22% than 1991—2006.
