Abstract

For determining the water regime characteristics we suggest a modification of the technique which is based on taking into consideration the parameters of alluvium ridge movement and which has been used in evaluating the annual runoff of traction load on the rivers in the north of Siberia and in the north-east of Russia. The intrazonal character of the runoff of traction load is substantiated. We examine the role of geological and hydroclimatic conditions and ascertain a correlation between the flow rate of traction load and water flow rates.
