Abstract

The data on the lake morphometry and sediment lithostratigraphy of the Lake Onego watershed were collected. The classification of lakes was carried out according to the genetic features of relief. Four types of the lakes have been identified for the catchment area. The structural features of lake basins and bottom sediments were determined for each type of lakes.
