Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The relevance of the research topic is explained by the increased risk of spring floods in the Akmola region, the significant damage they cause to the local economy and the need to develop and imple-ment effective measures to prevent them. The purpose of this study is to develop a proper assessment of the environmental risk of spring floods and their consequences on the territory of the Akmola region, which is important for regional enterprises. The methodological approach includes a systematic analysis of the probability of occurrence of various environmental risks from spring floods in combination with the study of patterns of development of negative consequences of these floods in the region and in the Republic of Kazakhstan as a whole. As part of the current study, results have been identified that indi-cate the serious consequences of spring floods for economic activity in areas that were flooded during seasonal floodwaters, as well as the need to develop and implement specific measures to prevent spring floods caused by significant violations of economic activity in the water protection zone. The results obtained during the study, as well as the scientific conclusions derived from them, are significant for agricultural workers in the Akmola region who feel the irreversible effects of spring floods when carry-ing out their activities in the region, as well as for residents of these areas who regularly encounter the described difficult natural situations.
