Hydrographical and Physical–Geographical Characteristics of the Issyk-Kul Lake Basin and Use of Water Resources of the Basin, and Impact of Climate Change on It

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Part of the book series: Water Resources Development and Management ((WRDM))

Abstract

The Issyk-Kul lake basin is located in a vast intermontane basin. Its width in the meridian direction near the Tosor village is 75 km. From here to the east and west, the basin narrows. Its total length from Chaar-Zhon to Kyzyl-Ompol is 240 km.
