Description
Marguzor is the sixth lake, if you count from the bottom up along the gorge of the Shing River. It is in the same chain with the lakes Nezhegon (Mizhgon [6] ), Soya , Ishore (Gushor [4] or Khusher [6] ), Nofin , Khurdak and Azorchashma [7] (Hazorchashma). All the listed lakes in different sources are summarized under the single name Marguzor Lakes , since Marguzor is the largest among them and is considered the most beautiful lake of all. Also often referred to under the general names "Haftkul" (translated from Tajik as "seven lakes" ), "Seven Beauties" [4] [6] and "Seven Beauties of Shing" [8] .
On the right bank of the road, punched in the rocks. On the northern slope there is a grove with tall trees and odorous herbs [4] . The lake is connected with the lakes Azorchashma and Khurdak, respectively [3], by channels from the south and north. Four rivers less than 10 km each flow into the lake [5] .
Chemical Composition
According to the classification of natural waters according to the allocation of hydrochemical facies of G. A. Maksimovich , Marguzor enters the zone of mountainous territories of a hydrocarbonate hydrochemical formation with a predominance of hydrocarbonate-calcium waters. The scientist’s table shows the following characteristics of lake waters [7] :
| Formation | Facies | Mineralization, mg / l |
|---|---|---|
| Bicarbonate | HCO 3 - Na + + K + —Ca² + |
