Features of the Hydrological Regime of Periglacial Morainic Lakes in the Altai

Vast data of field studies and Earth remote sensing are used to propose detailed indicators (criteria) for the transgressive, regressive, and post-regressive stages of reservoir development. These criteria allow for a qualitative determination of a lake’s current stage and an assessment of its future development. For the first time, the hydrological regime characteristics of reservoirs are described for each stage of development.
