Increasing the level of water security when using reservoirs in the basins of transboundary rivers of Kazakhstan

Abstract

The article discusses the issues of water resources security, reducing vulnerability and increasing the level of water security of the country. Adaptive methods of regulating river flow are considered. The use of natural reservoirs of transboundary rivers of Kazakhstan as "natural reservoirs" acting as natural "reservoirs" of seasonal regulation is noted. The process of adaptive management is based on a directed impact in the regulation system according to the "3U" principle: to catch, retain and regulate flood and/or flood runoff.
