Indicative significance of sub-arid morphosculpture of Southern Turgai plains for hydrogeology and engineering geology problems

Abstract

An indicative information for hydrology and engineering can be obtained by space photoes geomorphological interpretation with view to inter-relation of morphosculpture and neotectonics, lithology and hydrogeology. The term «exomorphogenous indication» is proposed for this trend of research in aerial and space photoes interpretation. A case of Southern Turgai depression morphosculpture demonstrates the exomorphogenous indication's capabilities applied to fresh ground water prospection and civil engineering conditions study.
