The article analyzes the record of catastrophic floods for the Yesil river basin in the XIX, XX and XXI centuries. Information and data about floods are taken from hydrometeorological periodic publi cations, archival data, electronic resources, scientific articles and other sources. The study of hydro logical aspects is of strategical relevance to ensure the sustainable development of river catchments of Kazakhstan. The studied Yesil River Basin is one of the most important regions of the country, with a need for comprehensive hydrological research as the capital city of Astana is rapidly developing. Analysis of existing materials allowed us to identify the flooded areas, the dates of flood occurrence, their causes and an assessment of flood damage. Following earlier research, the causes of flooding were classified into 7 main groups that are typical for flood conditions in the basin. As a result, the main factors that led to flooding were the contributions from melting snow and precipitation. Climate change and human activities were also noted to have an impact to flooding. The scale and amount of flood damage was assessed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
