Granulometric analysis shows that the predominant bottom sediments consist of silt-clay and clayey silt.
The sandy fraction is minimal, not exceeding a few percent, with silt content varying between 22% and 64%.
Sediment accumulation patterns are influenced by river inflows and lake currents, leading to a zonal-concentric distribution.
Electron microscopy indicates significant concentrations of sulfate ions, promoting gypsum sedimentation in near-bottom waters.
