Abstract: A new method of combating desertification of vast territories in south-eastern regions of Russia and in the countries of Central Asia has been proposed. The proposed method is described in detail in this paper. The essence of the method is to create artificial glaciers. It has been established that the growing threat of the transformation of vast territories into a waterless desert can be eliminated only by preserving and recreating mountain glaciers. It is assumed that the process of creating artificial glaciers will take at least 10 years. After this period, the thickness of the formed glacier can be 20 - 30 meters, and the length of two - three kilometers. This method implies the artificial creation of mountain glaciers feeding new rivers that do not yet exist at present.
