Hydrological and hydrogeological investigations performed in the frames of the ISTC Project
#KR-1430 have demonstrated that the Toktogul Reservoir water balance is formed on the basis of river
run-off, while the water quality is determined by the interaction of the surface run-off with the
groundwater flow (Savel‟ev and Tokarev; Tolstikhin et al.; both in this collection of papers). The main
natural factor which determines the possibility of required water volume accumulation in the Reservoir
is the Naryn River run-off. The natural factor which changes the water quality is the evaporite solution
and the consequent high-salinity water flow into the Reservoir.
The numerical hydrological model of the Toktogul Reservoir specific catchment area was made
for the estimation of the surface water balance items and for the realization of the Constantly
Functioning Model (CFM).
Natural conditions analysis and schematization for the accounting in the numerical model
Geographical boundaries of the simulated area – Toktogul Reservoir specific catchment area
within the ridges‟ watersheds (Fig. 4.1):
– Talass Ala-Too, Suusamyr-Too – on the North;
– Kem-Irim-Too and northern prongs of the Fergan ridge, Babash-Ata – on the South;
– At-Oynok – on the west.
The Model includes the Ket‟men‟-Tyube Depression as the Reservoir riparian area.
The southern slopes of the Talass and Suusamyr ridges are wide, slanting and are divided into
separate big prongs. In this area of the Depression the main volumes of the sedimentary NeogenicQuarternary rocks, which fill the river valleys are present. These loose sediments are rich with water
and, thus, the main groundwater sources are formed there.
The northern slopes of the Kyok-Irim-Too, At-Oynok and Fergan ridges are short, intensely
fragmented and are composed, mainly, of crystalline rocks. Loose rocks are purely present or are not
present at all; due to this fact the southern edge of the Depression does not bear water.
Numerical realization. Since the simulated area is a closed water-catchment basin the contour of
the grid area is realized as tight boundaries – type II boundary condition (the flow Q = 0, Neumann
condition).
The ground surface is described with the digital relief model made basing on the Shuttle Radar
Topography Mission (SRTM) data.

Climatic factors. The climate here is sharply continental and dry. The spring, autumn and winter
seasons are characterized by air intrusion from the west, which brings the major volume of moisture. In
summer the mountain-valley wind prevails.
Temperature. Because of considerable altitude variability the temperatures between the
Ket‟men-Tyube Depression at the Reservoir water level and the watersheds differ significantly (see
Fig.2). This regularity influences all the water balance items; each has its own functional dependence on
the altitude.

Precipitations (water balance augmentation part). The main portion of water resources is formed
on the windward slopes of the ridges. Within the Ket‟men‟-Tyube Depression the average annual
amount of precipitations is 250-300 mm, in the mountains the amount of precipitations grows up to
1200 mm (Fig. 3, 4). In the period from May to November the amount of precipitations makes 80% of
the whole amount, the whole summer share is 8-10% (the minimum is in August – 3-5 mm).

132
Evaporation (water balance diminution part). The amount of evaporation in each point is mainly
determined as the ratio of precipitations volume to the air temperature, as well as the slopes‟ exposure to
the sun and prevailing winds. Because of the sub-latitudinal location of the ridges the growth of
evaporation at the northern and southern exposure slopes is described with different functions.
In the result, for the simulated area the general trend is the growth of evaporation up to 2400 m
(Fig. 5, 6). At higher places the evaporation decreases due to the annual average temperature decrease
(Fig. 2).
At the altitudes under 1800-2000 m the evaporation nearly completely compensates the
precipitations, which means that nearly all the moisture falling in the form of rain or snow evaporates.

Reservoir and rivers. The Reservoir occupies a considerable part of the Ket‟men-Tyube
Depression with the absolute water level mark from 720 to 903 m above sea level.
The main artery of the Reservoir is the Naryn River, which provides about 85 % of the water supply to
the Reservoir. Within the simulated area we can also detach the water catchment areas of minor rivers,
of which the most important are the Uzun-Akhmat, the Chychkan and the Torkent. The annual and
monthly average values of the main rivers‟ run-offs, basing on the 1964-2006 observation data, are
shown below in Table 1.

The height difference between the watersheds and the sea level in the Reservoir is 2000-3000 m,
therefore all the rivers are torrents.
Numerical realization. The altitude position of the rivers within the simulated area is set
according to the relief digital model.
Macro-convolutions of the riverbeds (the riverbed convolutions are longer than the dimensions of
the numerical model blocks) are described by means of setting the rivers‟ reaches. The reaches‟
inclinations are calculated automatically basing on the grid approximation of the relief digital model.
For each elbow the river geometry is described by the relief surface basing on which the
parameter “water level” in the river, hRIV, is calculated. The water level in the river is determined as the
difference between the relief surface in the point and the parameter “river bank height”.
The river bed location is determined via the parameter „river depth” which is deducted from hRIV.
The bottom sediment thickness is characterized by the parameter “screen thickness” with its own
parameter “hydraulic conductivity”.
For each river the area called “river basin” is set-up. In fact, this area is the river water catchment
area.
When the seepage with the function name “atmospheric precipitations” is set-up, the volume of
atmospheric precipitations in the river basin is taken into account within the parameter “river flow”.
When the model is calibrated, the corresponding quantity is compared with the data on the real gage
lines.
For each river reach the river geometry is described by the relief surface from which the “river
depth” is counted. So the river bottom mark is determined. The water level in the river is determined as
the difference between the relief level in the point and the “river bank height”. The parameter called
“screen thickness” which characterizes the bottom sediments thickness with their “hydraulic
conductivity” is added to the river bottom.
The connection between the surface water and groundwater is realized using the III type BC (the
flow Q = f(Δh) is the Cauchy condition). Since the rivers have torrential characters, the set penetrability
of the bottom sediments is rather high – kf = 0.1-0.3 m/day.
The water flows calculated for the “River”-type object are recalculated for the surface run-off.
134
Geological-hydrogeological conditions. The waterbearing strata within the specific water
catchment area of the Toktogul Reservoir can be divided into two groups. The first group includes
fractured grounds presented mainly by igneous rock and strongly metamorphosed formations mainly of
the Pre-Cainozoic period. The second group includes loose sediments of the Neogenic and Quaternary
periods.
Fractured grounds are characterized by noticeable penetrability only through cuts in the vicinity
of day, where the filtration coefficients reach n10-1 m/day. The thickness of the active fractured zone
evidently, does not exceed 150-300 m down from the grounds surface. These geological formations play
the roles of conductors only.
Porous rocks are characterized by rather wide spread of the hydraulic conductivity from n10-1 to
first meters per day. These geological formations play the roles of conductors because they have
considerable capacitance.
All watersheds within the simulated area are composed of fractured rocks, therefore the water
reserve there exists only as season-depending snow and glaciers. The glacier area within the specific
water catchment area of the Toktogul Reservoir is negligible, because it makes less than 0.5 %.
The groundwater is fed both by direct seepage of atmospheric precipitations and by absorbed flat
surface run-off in the mid mountains. Considerable role is also played by the groundwater underflow,
however we do not have data on the river flow variation from the river heads down to estuaries.
Numerical realization. The concept model of the groundwater flow formation is shown in Fig. 7.
The information presented above, as well as the data obtained during the Project realization allow us to
formulate the concept model of the groundwater and run-off formation, which presented in Fig. 7.

Fig. 7. Conceptual model of the groundwater flow and run-off formation in the Naryn and Toktogul Reservoir
catchments area.
The water resources formation zone is in the mid and high mountains; the main groundwater
135
reserve is accumulated due to the snow melting and spring rainfalls, since the maximum precipitations
are in February-April. The water transit from snow and rains into the surface and groundwater run-offs
takes place at the end of April and in May.
In the mid-mountains the zone of direct precipitations absorption and of surface run-off transit to
the groundwater is located in the near-rim zones. Within the Ket‟men-Tyube Depression water resources
are not replenished because of the relatively low volume of precipitations and high evaporation.
However, this is the part of the geological structure of the Ket‟men-Tyube Depression, where the main
groundwater reserves are located. The groundwater discharges into the local river net and into the
Toktogul Reservoir.
The real distribution of the sediments filtration, gravitation and elastic capacity coefficients
determines the quantity of atmospheric precipitations inflow into the water catchment area in
comparison with the snow melting period.
In the numerical model the glacier-based river feeding is not taken into account because the area
covered with glaciers in the Reservoir catchment area does not exceed 0.4 %.
The calculation results on the Snow-melt Run-off model (Tokarev, Savel‟ev, - in this collection
of papers) allow us to deem that the groundwater feeding depends on the season-depending snow
melting dynamics and is characterized by the time varying seepage coefficient, kε.
The filtration coefficients of the surrounding rock are pre-set basing on the development work
data (northern edge of the Ket‟men‟-Tyube Depression) and basing on expert estimations (mountain
enclosure).
See page (water balance diminution part). The volume of the groundwater seepage feeding is
rather a complicated function, which includes the following parameters:
– the main meteorological parameters specified above – the volume of precipitations and
evaporation;
– auxiliary meteorological factors – type of precipitations, their seasonal distribution, winds,
tempo of transition through zero in spring (spring harmony), etc.
– geological parameters – steepness of slopes, granulometric composition of the soil substratum,
type and degree of bedrock penetrability, aeration zone capacities and other less significant
aspects.
Because of the presence of a big complex of influencing factors, during the Project we were
unable to determine this parameter directly experimentally.
The expert judgment of the seepage intensity can be determined basing on general consideration,
as well as on the data on the groundwater isotope composition.According to this data the lower
boundary of the groundwater seepage feeding is located higher than 1800-2000 m. At the same altitudes
we observe considerable loose rock sediments thinning, which fill the river valleys in the Toktogul
Reservoir specific catchment area.
In the mountain countries the upper boundary of the groundwater feeding area, as a rule, is
located at the altitudes where the surface steepness increases considerably, which forms the conditions
for the complete transit of precipitations into the surface run-off. Apart from this the presence of the subrock – low fissured difference of crystalline rocks – also decreases the seepage feeding intensity. At last
during cold seasons the ground and soil freezing has its contribution to this process, as well.
In the case of the Toktogul Reservoir specific catchment area, the watersheds are located at the
altitudes over 2700 m and have mainly flat tops (see Fig. 8). Therefore the water flowing from the
watersheds is relatively slow. Thus, the area of the seepage feeding within the simulated area stretches
up to the watersheds.

Numerical description of the groundwater feeding. Distribution of the annual rainfall and
evaporation within the simulated area is estimated according to the digital (statistical) model of
Kyrgyzstan moistening built basing on the data from weather stations (Kuzmichenok, 2008). Since the
major parameter which controls the precipitations and evaporation is the altitude, then the maps of the
annual rainfall and evaporation, on the whole, replicate the relief map. In the numerical model we use
the grid approximation of annual rainfall and evaporation distribution.
The volume of the seepage feeding in each grid node is calculated basing on the relation:
ε = kεP,
where ε is the seepage feeding layer, mm/year; kε is the seepage coefficient, parts of unity; P is the layer
of precipitations in a certain point of the simulated area, mm/year
The model calibration is performed basing on the balance equation:
P = w + ET + ε = w + (1 – kε)P + kεP,
(1)
where w is the layer of the surface run-off, mm/year; ET is the layer of evapotranspiration (evaporation
and transpiration by vegetation), mm/year. In the case under consideration evaporation is E = ET, since
the layer of vegetation transpiration turns out to be insignificant.(Kuzmichenok, 2008).
The spatial distribution of the quantity P is set basing on the digital moistening model of the
Toktogul Reservoir specific catchment basin (Kuzmichenok, 2008).
When solving the nonstationary problem we use the data on the annual rainfall. The
characteristic image of the precipitations annual distribution graph for the stations located at the altitudes
about 2000-2100 m, is shown in Fig. 9.
The check quantity, w, is calculated basing on the data about the sizes of the water catchment
areas of some rivers, determined over the relief digital model SRTM, as well as from the observations at
hydrologic section:
w = QRIV/SRIV,
where QRIV and SRIV measured flow and water catchment area of the corresponding river.
The quantity kε is selected in the course of the model calibration; at that the controlling
(calibrating) parameters are the model values of wMOD, ETMOD and P MOD, calculated basing on the
numerical solution.

Then supporting design has been made. The concept developed at the preliminary Project phases
provides for the geological environment approximation in six layers:
– the three upper layers correspond to porous collectors: in the mountains they are alluvialdealluvial sediments, in the valleys they are loose neogenic and Quaternary sediments filling
138
the Ket‟men-Tyube Depression and the valleys of the Uzun-Akhmat, Chychkan, Torkent and
Saragata rivers;
– the three lower levels correspond to the zones of active, diminishing and low fissuring of the
mountain ridge crystalline rocks.
Within the Reservoir water area another layers identification is used for the approximation of the
geological environment:
– the two upper layers are used for the description of loose drifts formed after the Reservoir was
filled with water;
– the three mid layers correspond to loose neogenic and Quaternary sediments;
– the one lower layer corresponds to the crystalline rocks of the Reservoir bed.
The data on the geometry of separate strata within the simulated area are very scarce. During the
analysis of the archival information we have discovered the description of the geological section in the
proper scale for the Ket‟men-Tyube Depression only. In view of this fact we have decided to add the
needed scope of data basing on the following consideration. The thickness of the loose rock sediments
grows in the direction from the watershed towards the valleys of the rivers and the Depression itself.
This growth has clear nonlinear character, therefore we propose using the following dependence for the
reconstruction of the watershed surfaces:
Z Z C1 Z C2

ZM AX
mZ MAX mZ MIN
Z MAX Z MIN

,

where Z is the calculated absolute mark of the model strata bottom, m; Z is the absolute mark of the
overlaying model strata (for the upper strata this is the relief mark); m(ZMAX), m(ZMIN) is the thickness of
the strata on the watershed and at the Reservoir shore line, respectively, m.
The proposed mathematical model will also allow calculation of the thickness growth of the
active jointing zone of the crystalline strata in the direction from the valleys towards the watersheds and
to predetermine the corresponding thicknesses of the model “formations”. Within the Ket‟men-Tyube
Depression the calculated marks are adjusted according to the available information on the Neogenic
and Quarterly deposits geometry known from the wells‟ boring data.
At the phase of the data preparation to the calculation the pre-processor determined the grid
approximation of the relief and separating surfaces.
The external boundaries of the simulated area are externally indeterminate.
The rivers Usun-Akhmat, Chychkan, Torkent are traced in the automated regime with further
manual correction. At that the spatial position of the rivers and the correspondence of the water levels to
the SRTM data and topographical maps are checked. The data on the water levels in the rivers are also
used for the model calibration.
The water catchment areas of the mentioned rivers were detached, as well as those of temporary
water flows and dry valleys. The detachment was made automatically with manual correction.
The water catchment areas, SRIV, were calculated for the rivers Usun-Akhmat, Chychkan,
Torkent, as well as the areas of temporal water flows and dry valleys.
139
Parametrical model filling; setting boundary conditions
The non-homogeneity zones are manually detached over parameters with account for all earlier
obtained data and according to the accepted schematization. The detached non-homogeneity zones are
approximated by the processor on the grid layout. For example, the grid approximation of the
precipitations and evaporation (E) layer spatial distribution (P) is performed basing on the distributions
presented in Figs. 4 and 6.
According to the moistening balance model (Kuzmichenok, 2008) the surface run-off, w, is the
difference between the precipitations and the evaporation:
w = P – E.
In the numerical hydro-geological model of the Toktogul Reservoir catchment area the quantity
w (the part of the precipitations layer feeding the surface run-off) is taken as the augmenting part of the
water balance
P MOD = w.
This is done to exclude the necessity to simulate evaporation. In this case the atmospheric
feeding in the model falls into the direct surface run-off to the rivers and the seepage:
P MOD wMOD MOD (1 k ) P MOD k P MOD ,
where wMOD is the surface run-off model layer, mm/year; εMOD is the model layer of the groundwater
seepage feeding, mm/year; kε is the seepage coefficient.
In each calculation point the precipitations layer which goes to the balance augmenting part of
the Toktogul Reservoir specific catchment area is the difference between the precipitations and the
evaporation:
P MOD P E w ,
where w is the surface run-off, according to the statistics (balance) model (Kuzmechenok, 2008).
In this case the atmospheric feeding in the model falls into the direct surface run-off to the rivers
and the seepage. The simplified description of the summarized water balance in the model is as follows:
P MOD wMOD MOD (1 k ) P MOD k P MOD
where wMOD is the model layer of the direct surface run-off, mm/year; εMOD is the model layer of the
groundwater seepage feeding, mm/year; kε is the seepage coefficient.
MOD
The spatial distribution of the surface run-off, w , is calculated during the model solving and
MOD
is used during calibration. For this purpose the model layer of the surface run-off, w , is compared
with the value obtained when the statistics moistening model of the Toktogul Reservoir catchment basin
(Kusmichenok, 2008) was developed.
Boundary conditions at the rivers were determined as the third-type condition (type III BC –
Cauchy condition). This condition is determined as the dependence of the cross-flow to/from the river
on the pressure, thickness and filtration coefficient gradients of the screen in the river bed – kf . Within
the simulated area all the rivers have a torrential character, therefore there should be tight connection
with the rivers. In view of this the initial values of the bottom sediments filtration coefficient are taken
equaling kf = 1 m/day.
Boundary conditions at the Reservoir are also set using the type III BC (Cauchy condition),
140
specially modified for the water level setting in the Reservoir. The difficulty of the program realization
of this boundary is that the water level in the Reservoir (HWSR – water table in water-storage Reservoir)
depends on the volume of the accumulated water (V WVR –water volume in Reservoir). The volume of
the accumulated water, in its turn, depends on the combination of two balance constituents – the Naryn
river flow together with the flows of minor rivers (QRIV) and the water discharge from the Reservoir
(QRD – reservoir discharge):
HWSR = f(VWVR),
The water flow in the Reservoir is mainly determined by the contribution of Naryn and minor
rivers (QRIV). To less extent the Reservoir water balance depends on the flat-bed flow (the surface
constituent of QSURF) and the groundwater discharge directly into the Reservoir (QGW). However, the
latter two quantities are quite important when simulating the water quality variation in the Reservoir.
Thus, the volume of the water accumulated in the Reservoir is determined by the relation of the balance
items at the time interval t:
f(VWVR) = (QRIV + QSURF + QGW – QRD.)Чt.
The ration of the water level in the Reservoir, H, and the accumulated water volume, VWVR, is
known in advance or is adjusted in the course of the bathymetrical and topographical survey ordered by
the Toktogul HPS Cascade Administration (Fig.10. Adjustment…, 2010; Shabunin et al. Calculation…,
in this collection of papers):
VWVR = 4.7735Ч10–9ЧH6 –2.3103Ч10–5ЧH5 + 4.6499Ч10–2ЧH4 – 49.813ЧH3 + 29955.96ЧH2 –
9588308ЧH + 1276190130
(1)
the approximation accuracy is R2 = 0.999993.
For the use in the numerical model the equation (1) is solved with the reference to the parameter
H, since the quantities QRIV, QSURF and QGW are under the determination, and QRD was set by the user
basing on the data of the Toktogul HPS Cascade Administration. The equation (1) is solved with
iterations in the course of the data preparation by the pre-processor. Basing on the obtained solutions the
H ч VWVR is tabulated with the step approximately 1 m, after which the approximation function used
during the process of solving is built.
Filtration parameters. At present one of the most complicated issues is the evaluation of the
strata filtration parameters. The archival data about experimental-filtration sampling concerning the
investigated area are very poor. At that, the earlier bored wells characterize the loose sediments of the
Ket‟men-Tubinskaya Depression only, because they have been bored for the purposes of groundwater
operation. The wells which could characterize the groundwater within the mountain enclosure (areas of
fractured ground development) are practically unavailable.
The relief model, the data on the groundwater filtration parameters allow us to split the simulated
model into fragments within which different grid fragmentation density is realized. (Fig. 12). The
approximation of the model area itself by the grid fragmentation is shown on Fig. 13. The grid
fragmentation density is selected so that within the loose sediments distributions which are better
characterized by the filtration parameters, the model representation of the environment is the most
detailed one.

Model calibration
Filtration calculation in stationary set-up. Calculation of the saturated-non-saturated filtration
in stationary set-up was performed for the calibration of the penetrability parameters (filtration
coefficients) and the model balance check. At the calibration a number of model quantities with their
values obtained according to the observations were compared.
1. Checking over the mean river flows. The model flow volume was calculated for each river;
for this purpose the water flows at all elbows were summarized:

3. Apart from this a number of other checks should be applied.
A. The condition is checked, according to which in the area of groundwater feeding and transit
the levels/pressures cannot be higher than the ground surface mark. The exclusion is the river valleys.

D. The solution is checked for the absence of surges. For this purpose the hydraulic gradient
between adjacent cells:
I MOD (h2 h1 ) / l ,
and the relief rake between the same cells :
I RELIEF ( Alt 2 Alt1 ) / l
are calculated, where h2 and h1 are the levels/pressures in the cells, m; Alt2 and Alt1 are the relief marks

E. The model pressures ( h

because this is the only factual material available for us, though fragmentary.
The filtration (kf) and seepage (ε) coefficients are varied for the correction of the model solution.
After the mentioned parameters are changed, all the calculations and the controlling graphs are made
again until the desired result is achieved.
Filtration calculation in non-standard set-up. The model of the saturated-non-saturated
filtration of the Toktogul Reservoir specific catchment area in the non-stationary set-up is the complete
solution of one the Project tasks.
For the realization of this model the feeding is made non-stationary. For this purpose the time
dependences of P, E and ε are set. At the phase of the saturated-non-saturated filtration calculation in the
non-stationary set-up the capacity parameters are calibrated and the model balance is adjusted. The
model calibration is made using the scheme described above; for which a number of calculated model
values are compared with the values obtained due to observations.
In addition to the used calibration criteria we use the factual data on the Naryn run-off (Fig. 15).

Simulation of the water quality variation in the Reservoir. The background of the water quality
formation in the Reservoir is the Naryn river flow, which contributes about 85 % of water into the
Reservoir water balance.
Within the Ket‟men‟-Tyube Depression we can detach the ridges Shamshykal-Ata (on the northeastern shore of the Reservoir) and Ortok-Too (on the south-eastern shore), where evaporites are spread.
Because of the presence of easily soluble salt sediments these areas are the sources of additional saline
load for the Reservoir.
During the Project#KR-1430 we managed to show that the main ion flow is caused by the
surface wash-out. Basing on the results of in-situ observations we discovered that mineralization of the
surface water flowing from the Shamshykal-Ata mountains (the north-eastern shore of the Reservoir)
during winter time reaches 300 g/l. The salt supply to the Reservoir less depends on the groundwater
discharge, which mineralization, according to the measurements, can be 3-5 g/l. For the groundwater
weak dependence of water salinity on rock permeability takes place (Fig. 16).

Numerical realization. For the solution of the problem of mass transport in the region of
Shamshykal-Ata mountains for the simulated periods determined as “winter time” we set the increased
mineralization of the water balance constituent controlled by the parameter “atmospheric precipitations”.
Conclusions. The built model can be used for the forecasting at water discharge from the
Toktogul Reservoir. For this purpose the regional weather model should be built. In this model basing
on the probabilistic analysis the scenarios of normal weather conditions must be taken into account (a
number of years with normal mean annual supply with precipitations). Apart from this the probability of
extreme conditions such as low-water and high-water years must be estimated. The series lengths,
frequency and sequence of “normal”, “low-water” and “high-water” years must be set basing on the
analysis of the available hydrometeorological material of the regression models.
