THE IMPACT OF COLLECTOR-DRAINAGE WATERS ON WATER QUALITY AND BIOTA OF LAKES IN THE SOUTHERN ARAL SEA REGION
Keywords:
collector-drainage waters, lakes, Southern Aral Sea region, water quality, hydroecology, biota, eutrophicationAbstract
In the context of an arid climate and scarcity of freshwater resources, the issues of secondary use of collector-drainage waters (CDW) and their impact on aquatic ecosystems are of particular importance. This article analyzes the effects of CDW on the hydrochemical state and biota of lakes in the Southern Aral Sea region. Based on literature sources and field observations, characteristic changes in water quality, biodiversity, and the stability of lake ecosystems have been identified. Proposals for the rational management of CDW have been put forward to mitigate environmental consequences.
