A national inventory of potential future lakes in the deglaciating cordilleras of Peru for integrative water and risk management

Anticipating the formation of lakes in deglaciating mountains represents an important step towards the identification of both, new possible water storage options and potential hazards. This is particularly crucial in the Peruvian Andes which are characterized by strong precipitation seasonality. Dwindling glacier contribution to river streamflow, particularly during the dry season (May-September), combined with increasing water demand suggest considerable levels of potential future water scarcity in some regions. Within the near future, the water use potential of new lakes needs to be further explored for main sectors of water use. At the same time, emerging risks must be considered for downstream populations (i.e. lakes increasingly exposed to landslides, avalanches, rock falls or ice detachments).
