Abstract

Water balance regularities and level fluctuations of the transboundary Lake Khanka have been considered. It has been shown that anthropogenic factors associated primarily with irrigation farming on both Russian and Chinese parts of the lake basin are important factors affecting the lake hydrological regime along with climatic factors. Water supply for rice cultivation is provided at the expense of construction of complicated engineering systems for water resources redistribution. Account of these engineering systems’ impact on the Lake Khanka level fluctuations, as well as assessment of effectiveness of probable measures on mitigation of flooding risk for riparian territories have been accomplished with the multi-variant calculations method and simulation experiments with the lake and its catchment hydrological system model with the use of new data concerning all the water body water balance elements for the 1949-2015 period.
