DEVELOPMENT OF THE BAIKAL ESTUARINE SYSTEMS DURING THE ANTHROPOGENIC STAGE

Abstract

The report presents the materials of the hydrological and geomorphological analysis of the mouths of the tributaries of Lake Baikal carried out in recent years. The research is aimed at assessing the development of estuarine systems in different periods of water availability, their typification, systematization and forecast. Particular attention is paid to the natural prerequisites for the relief formation of estuarine areas, the most important of which is the morphostructural features of the coasts, which determine the morphogenetic and dynamic type of the coastal zone. The time frame covers the stages of the formation of estuaries during artificial regulation of the level of the receiving reservoir or during the technogenic stage.
