Abstract: This article investigates the hydrological impacts of atmospheric fluctuations and wildfire disturbances on the Amu Darya river basin, a glacier-fed watershed critical for Central Asia’s water supply. Using the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) coupled with Global Climate Models (GCMs) under various climate scenarios, the study simulates runoff, streamflow, and water balance changes over a 60-year period, calibrated and validated with observed data via the SUFI-2 algorithm in SWAT-CUP. Results indicate significant alterations in precipitation patterns, reduced surface runoff, increased groundwater recharge, and heightened uncertainty in hydrological responses due to climate variability, emphasizing the need for adaptive watershed management and transboundary cooperation. The findings provide valuable insights for policymakers and water resource managers aiming to develop sustainable strategies to mitigate climate change effects on water availability and agricultural productivity in the Amu Darya basin and similar mountainous regions.
