Massive desert solar buildout could worsen water stress in China’s Tarim Basin
Researchers modeling extreme photovoltaic deployment across the Taklamakan Desert say utility-scale solar could alter regional climate dynamics and intensify water stress in one of the driest basins on Earth.
Key Takeaways
- Researchers modeled an extreme solar deployment scenario across the Tarim Basin’s Taklamakan Desert.
- They found that very large PV buildouts could alter regional climate dynamics and worsen water stress.
