Issues concerning the Irtysh River and the Ob River interaction and the backwater processes during the Irtysh River mouth areas depressions formation (their origin is still disputable) have been discussed. The backwaters hydro/climatic and geo/morphologic factors have been analyzed; a hydrodynamic hypothesis to explain river moth areas backwaters has been suggested.
