Abstract

The relationship between reservoirs and naturally formed lakes in Mongolia has not been previously studied. This research explores potential future environmental impacts, both positive and negative, in western Mongolia. The study employs morphological analysis (MA), normalised difference water index (NDWI), volume analysis and statistical analysis of water. In the case of Airag Lake and an artificially created lake, temporal changes in lake surface area and volume exhibit inverse trends. The correlation between changes in lake area over time is highly negative (R = −0.96, p
