Abstract: | The natural-climatic causes of changes in river runoff and seasonal recharge of groundwater in Don basin are considered. Joint
analysis is made of changes in the statistical characteristics of the series of air temperature and precipitation, mean annual
and dry-season-averaged runoff for both the entire observation period and of periods 1940–1969 and 1970–2000 with comparable
durations. The presence of statistically reliable ascending trends in air temperature, precipitation, and dry-season (groundwater)
runoff for period 1970–2005 is demonstrated. Climatic changes in Don basin also have their effect on the formation of extremely
low water in small and medium rivers, including cases of zero runoff. Zoning of the territory by runoff formation conditions
is carried out, and new estimates of natural groundwater resources in Don basin for period 1970–2000 are constructed. Appropriate
maps are compiled. |
