GRANULOMETRIC COMPOSITION OF BOTTOM SEDIMENTS OF ISSYK-KUL LAKE
An objective indicator of the environmental health of a water body is its sediment condition. Its pollution level depends on numerous factors, one of which is granulometric composition of sediments. It can be explained by a feature of small clay fraction to catch and keep different pollutants, which can cause the secondary lake water contamination while heaving the lake. Due to this fact, there was a need to study the sediments. This article is devoted to reviewing the granulometric composition of Lake Issyk-Kul sediments.
