Abstract

This study examines changes in the water level of the Yesik Lake, located in Kazakhstan, over the period from 2016 to 2024. The relevance of the research stems from the increasing impact of climate change on regional water resources, which poses serious challenges to both the local ecosystem and population. The aim of the study is to analyze the dynamics of the lake’s water level and to identify key factors contributing to its fluctuations. The research employs hydrological observation methods, including regular water level measurements, as well as meteorological data on temperature and precipitation. Statistical analysis was used to reveal correlations between water level variations and climatic parameters. The practical significance of the study lies in the need to develop measures to preserve the ecosystem of the Yesik Lake in the face of global climate change. The findings can contribute to a quantitative assessment of the influence of seasonal hydrological processes on water resources and support the development of water resource management strategies, particularly given the lake’s role in supplying water to the Yesik Hydroelectric Power Station.
