Abstract
The basis of the hydrographic system in Kyrgyzstan is the river systems and water catchments that are separated by watershed mountain ranges from each other (Fig. 8.1). The hydrographic system of river basins is made up of lakes, glaciers, groundwaters, swamps, and wetlands. All of them are products of orography, relief/topography, underlying surface, and climate. They have an interaction and mutual influence and take a direct part in the formation of the water balance of the river flow regime.
