GEORISK OF THE KARA-BALTA RIVER BASIN OF KYRGYZSTAN
The article presents data on geographic and water resources in the Kara-Balta river basin of the Chui intermontane depression in Northern Kyrgyzstan. The water resources of the Kara-Balta River Basin are associated with potentially hazardous potential impacts of radioactive waste from mining production accumulated in the tailing dumps. It is necessary to carry out monitoring of hazardous wastes, develop new technologies and carry out secondary low-waste or non-waste recovery of useful components from mining waste.
