Another notable feature is the existence of large-scale internal flow basins that are not connected with the world's oceans and rivers. These basins are the center of the agro industrial complex. In these basins, all the products of the interaction between the natural water body and the underlying surface and the atmosphere will eventually be carried and accumulated in the terminal links of the hydrological network, such as the Aral Sea, Balkhash Lake, ALA lake, Manas Lake, tengiz lake, Lop Nur, Ebinur Lake and other internal water bodies. The air and natural water pollution products caused by human economic activities are also included in this regional water and material cycle.Many attempts have been made to describe the earth's spheres as a huge mathematical system, in which natural water is regarded as the element of system formation. It is also believed that the mass and energy transfer processes on the earth's surface occur at the regional, watershed and global levels. In the context of the global hydrological cycle of the earth's water cycle, there are many regional cycles, which are associated with large river basins and inland water basins on land. These watersheds represent open ecosystems (climate, hydrology, water conservancy, social economy, etc.), which are composed of mountain runoff formation subsystem, plain runoff dissipation subsystem and the terminal link - internal flow water body. In these systems, the connection of a half ring is completed by the constant airflow that carries moisture, aerosol and energy into the mountains; The other half loop is completed by the river system that transports runoff (rich in sediment, salts and aquatic organisms) to the internal water body.In these systems, the internal flow water bod
