Abstract: The brittle ecology and bad climate on the Tibet Plateau have made it certain that environment protection and water and soil conservation should be paid great attention to in designing the tailing ponds in this particular area.Meanwhile, the plateau cold weather makes it unfavorable and difficult to construct tailing ponds there, which will involve damming, flood draining and seepage prevention.The authors discusses the issues needing attention in the design of tailing ponds in plateau cold area based on their experience in the engineering practice of mine projects.

Key words: Tibet plateau, Plateau cold area, Design of tailings ponds
