DYNAMICS OF WATER LEVEL REGIME AND WATER BALANCE OF LAKE BOLSHOY TAMBUKAN
Abstract
The results of the exploration of the dynamics of water level in the lake Bolshoy Tambukan for the period of more than 230 years is given. Lake Bolshoy Tambukan is a large deposit of peloids in the south part of Russia. Two periods of development of the lake are revealed: natural and natural-anthropogenic. Currently, there is a catastrophic rise of water in the lake and a decrease in its mineralization below 25 g/l. Data on fluctuations of mineralization and the most significant natural and anthropogenic events are given. Anthropogenic impact significantly influenced on natural processes in 20-21 centuries, and the obtained data confirmed this. In certain periods, anthropogenic impact was prevalent and completely disguised the influence of natural factors and processes. The biggest changes in water level regime of the lake captured in the period when the impact of natural and anthropogenic factors and processes was one-directional. Otherwise, there was some alignment of natural and anthropogenic factors and processes working in antiphase. Sometimes it led to a relative stabilization of water level. The historical and modern water balance of the lake is calculated. Main reasons of water level change and its mineralization decrease are determined.
