Abstract

The article reviews the methodology for assessing water bodies in the territories of Western and Central Kazakhstan. The concept of sustainable development of the region for recreational activities of this study is relevant. Literary sources of research of lakes of Western, Northern, and Central Kazakhstan are analyzed. The study area has excellent opportunities for the development of certain types of tourism. As a result of topographic and bathymetric surveys of water resources of geosystems, the most reliable morphometric data were obtained. Analyzing of the results of remote sensing data processing and index mapping made it possible to assess the area of lakes and determine their main metric characteristics. The article also evaluates the accuracy of the results obtained using various remote sensing materials. The geographical position of the lakes causes differences in the factors of formation of their hydrological regime. The altitude position of the studied lakes is also manifested in the peculiarity of the course of long-term changes in their characteristics. These received and processed research materials will be used for tourist and recreational activities. Recommendations on the tourist and recreational use of lake systems of Kazakhstan are given.
