Almost the entire catchment basin of the Kegult River is located within Kalmykia , a small part in the adjacent territories of the Rostov Region [5] .
Climate and Hydrology
The amount of precipitation falling in the Kegult river basin is small and decreases in the direction from west to east. The upper reaches of the river according to the Köppen climate classification are located within the zone of humid continental climate with hot summers and moderately cold winters (Dfa index). Most of the runoff falls on a short period of spring flood. Like other rivers in the drainage-free region of the West Caspian basin, due to significant evaporation in the spring-summer period, the role of rain nutrition is small. As a result, the river is characterized by a long summer-autumn low water. The maximum discharge of rain floods does not exceed 25-30% of the maximum discharge of spring flood. [6]
