Asian Water Tower (AWT) is a term used in the scientific literature for the high-mountain cryospheric and hydrological system of High-mountain Asia, centered on the Tibetan Plateau and encompassing, in broader definitions, the adjacent Himalayas, Karakoram, Hindu Kush and Tian Shan mountain ranges. The region contains extensive glaciers, snowpack and frozen ground that store water at high elevations and release it through meltwater and runoff to downstream river basins. The system functions as a dynamic water distribution system in which water is exchanged among atmospheric, solid and liquid reservoirs. It is an important source of freshwater for large populations across Asia.
