Abstract
China is one of the countries where there is abundant glacial water resource and glaciers exist in a vast area of mountainous regions. In this paper, a comprehensive discussion is made for the characteristics of glacial water resource, the chemical properties of meltwater and the prospects of future utilization in China. It has found that the glacial water resource is a water resource system based on the effect of a solid water reservoir. Its degree of mineralization is low and it almost does not have any pollution. In particular glacial water is high quality fresh water resource in the inland arid region. It is necessary to reconfirm the value of this water resource and conduct further studies on the fundamentals of its application in order to rationally exploit, utilize and preserve the glacial water resource.
