"The TAR’s largest inland lake, #Siling (Tibetan: Serling Tso), has spilled over into another nearby salt lake, #Bange (Drangkhog Tso), for the first time in more than 4,000 years, after decades of rising water levels driven by climate change, the report said.
[The two lakes] have been part of separate watersheds with no hydrological connection for more than 4,000 yrs but potentially as far back as 8,200 yrs ago, when glaciers melted and sea levels rose."
