Water resources of a steppe zone of the Southern Urals, formation and use

[摘要] The formation of water resources in the anthropogenically altered steppe zone of the Southern Urals is considered. Under conditions of arid climate, precipitation is aimed at increasing moisture reserves in arable land, reducing water flow. Soil moisture is spent mainly for evaporation. In the Orenburg region, it is necessary to develop a system for the integrated use of water resources, to increase the efficiency of using flood water by building reservoirs and ponds.
