Abstract
Changes in the spatial structure of runoff fields in the Don River basin due to the revealed non-stationarity of the hydrological regime are investigated. It is shown that the spatial correlation of the spring flood runoff layers, winter and summer-autumn low runoff, as well as snow storage have changed significantly. The chaotic pattern of the spatial correlation was gained, as a result of which the fields of the studied runoff characteristics became heterogeneous and anisotropic.
