The three components of the cryosphere – glaciers, snow and permafrost – are all affected by climate change.. Glaciers of Central Asia are essentially natural reservoirs that accumulate and store water from winter and spring precipitation and release it in summer, when rainfall is low and water demand is high. In the face of ongoing climate change, the challenges related to water management and disaster risk reduction may recur and persist. . Gerald A. Meehl . NCAR. 2010 Russian heat wave. Smoke from hundreds of fires over a thousand miles of western Russia, August 2. Over 2,000 houses destroyed by fires and about 4,000 people left homeless, wildfires burned in 17 Russian regions, and a state of emergency was declared.
