THE ANALYSIS OF DANGEROUS HYDROLOGICAL PROCESSES FOR THE TEREK RIVER BASIN

摘要

Analysis of dangerous hydrological processes is one of the essential components of future regional water resource systems planning. One of them is developed now for the Terek river basin. Contrasts of relief and climate create the prerequisites for the development of various dangerous natural processes, constantly endangering the safety of people. Climate changes during recent decades have been reflected in increasing frequencies of dangerous glaciological, erosive and hydrological processes in various parts of this river basin. Evaluation of the variability in river runoff, sediment load and water level, and development of forecasting methods for these phenomena are the most important scientific and practical tasks.
