Mongolian Plateau
Many lakes on the Mongolian Plateau such as Qagaan Nurr and XinKai Lake, have shrunk by two-thirds of their surface area. Some have dried up completely; the Huangqihai Lake and Naiman Xihu dried up entirely between 1980 and 2010. While a few lakes such as East Juyan Lake and Had Paozi have grown, on average the total surface area of lakes has shrunk by 30%.
