Hydrochemical Characteristic of the Temporary Water Bodies on the Catchment Area of Kharbeyskie Lakes (Bolshezemelskaya Tundra)

Abstract

On the catchment area of Kharbeiskie Lakes (Bolshezemelskaya Tundra) in July-August 2009-2010 chemical composition of water of 41 temporary water bodies was investigated. Data on distribution of 28 hydrochemical factors in the drainage depending on morphological characteristics of the water bodies and their genesis were obtained. Water bodies with lowered pH, low-mineralization, hydrocarbonate and sulfate-calcium, sodium or potassium composition were revealed, among all microelements Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn prevailed. The majority of hydrochemical factors in the temporary water bodies varied in a wider range in comparison with those in lakes. Based on the acidity of water, the content of organic substance, concentration of Mn, Cu, Zn and Al the studied water bodies belonged to five groups
