The role of drainless basins in Northern Kazakhstan in aquifer drainage
Abstract
The drainless basins are widespread in the zones of steppes, semi-deserts and deserts over a vast area, from Transbaikalia in the east to the Black Sea in the west. Sometimes they reach considerable sizes and great depth. Morphology, geological structure of the basins, their origin are very diverse, but all of them are united by one common feature — absence of runoff. The feeding conditions of lakes located at the bottom of many basins are also diverse. The main sources of feeding of these lakes include waters of: 1) surface runoff, including carved waters; 2) large reservoirs; 3) groundwater; 4) artesian waters.
