The role of drainless basins in Northern Kazakhstan in aquifer drainage
Abstract
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. The morphology, geological structure, and origin of the basins are very diverse, but all of them are united by one common feature — the absence of outflow. The recharge conditions of lakes located at the bottom of many basins are also diverse. The main sources of recharge for these lakes include: 1) surface runoff, including river waters; 2) large water bodies; 3) groundwater; 4) artesian waters.
