Abstract
This paper computes water balance in the lakes of Shchuchinsk-Borovsk resort zone of Kazakhstan in the context of climate change. Long-term measured data on precipitation, air temperature and water level are analyzed. Methodology is developed to calculate evaporation from the surface of lakes during the warm and cold periods. Applying the newly developed methodology, evaporation and water balance for the three lakes in the study area is calculated. The results show that from the middle of twentieth century to the beginning of twenty-first century, inflow of water in the lakes of the study area decrease due to increased evaporation which is triggered by the increase of air temperature.
