A large number of natural and artificial water sources are found on the territory
of Zhambyl region. This is due to the fact that in the territory located in the mountainous
region, the names of rivers, lakes, streams, wells with rich reserves of water resources are
often found, and the nature of hydrological objects is clearly indicated. It can be said that the
terms defining geographical names that characterize natural water sources have an ecological
and geographical basis. Natural water sources have played an important role in the economy
and provide extensive geographical information from history. From modern historical and
archaeological data, it can be seen that the first human settlements were located near water
bodies. The article analyzes specific data on the manifestations, formation and features of the
names of artificial and natural water sources in the study of microhydrogems of Zhambyl
region. The names of water bodies (hydronyms) are based on hydrographic terms. With the
help of the terms contained in the hydronyms, it is possible to determine the type, nature
and geographical features of water bodies. Toponymic analysis, geoinformation methods
of differentiation and drawing conclusions were used in the study of microhydronyms of
Zhambyl region.
