Map of atmospheric precipitations and basic direction of the wind
on the territory of Southern-Pribalkhashski artesian basin
(as of materials of Akhmedsafin U.M., Dzhabasov M.Kh., Oshlakov G.G., Jablochkina N.E.)
1 – isolines of mean annual atmospheric precipitations; 2 – hydrometric stations; 3 – boundary of artesian basin through water divide;
4 - just the same through Paleozoic framing; 5 - area of artesian basin; 6 - wind rose
Precipitations of the warm time of the year on the plain are almost completely spent for evaporation. The most big monthly amount of precipitations falls onto spring months – April-May and the most small- onto February and August -September.
