Features of the sediment runoff regime downstream the ile river

Abstract

This paper is devoted to study on the sediment runoff of the Ile River downstream. The article analyses the Kapshagai reservoir impact on the regime and characteristics of the sediment runoff in the Ile River downstream before and after construction of the reservoir in 1970. Along with the calculation of characteristics of sediment runoff, an assessment of the amount of the suspended sediment, which is in the bowl of the reservoir, was shown. Furthermore, the impact reservoir on the granulometric composition of the suspended and bed sediment of Ile River was calculated.
