Abstract

The article discusses the existing inland water resources in Azerbaijan. As a result of scientific research, it is known that all the rivers of Azerbaijan belong to the Caspian Sea, which is an inland basin, and the number is 8359. Drawing attention to the formation of Azerbaijan's internal water resources, the author notes that these waters were formed over a long geological period, depending on climatic and relief conditions. The article notes that the rivers, which are considered to be the most important element of sand water, are divided into three groups according to the source of food and the direction of flow. It is grouped as a temporary river flowing directly into the Caspian Sea, belonging to the Kura River basin and Absheron-Gobustan. When discussing the reasons for the formation of some rivers, it is shown that the rivers flowing through the area formed canyon-shaped valleys as they passed through the soft, easily washed rocks of the Cretaceous and Jurassic periods of the Mesozoic era. The Tangi gorge, a tributary of the Valvalachay, was formed for this reason. In addition to rivers, natural water resources include lakes. Depending on the natural and geographical conditions of the area where the lakes are located, the origin of the depression, they are subject to various physicochemical and hydrological features.
