Abstract

To study the modulus of the ion runoff of Azerbaijan mountain rivers, the data for the period of 1950–2010 are used. It is revealed that the values of the ion runoff modulus increase as the height rises on the whole territory with the exception of the Lankaran natural area. The dependences between runoff modulus and height M R = f(H) are obtained. The derived equation can be used for the determination of the ion runoff modulus of unexplored rivers.
