Abstract: This paper is devoted to a generalization of the investigations of glaciers of Central Asia in 1870-1990. An estimate of changes in the hydrological-glaciological characteristics of the glaciation areas and volumes and their influence on the flow-off formation of large Tajikistan rivers is given. A prediction of the state of these parameters due to a climate warming by 1-2оС until 2050 is presented. The determining role of the orography and orientation of Central Asia mountain ranges in the accumulation of the moisture brought by western and south-western winds was established on the basis of analysis of the data of many years. A new model of the “ice+water” system in wide rivers is developed. It makes it possible to estimate the hydrological characteristics of the two-phase flow in the period of intensive ice drift.
