Socio-ecological consequences during the construction of a multistage system of flood control facilities on side tributaries

Abstract

Abstract A method of protecting territories in a river basin during flash floods by creating a multi-stage system of intercepting flood control systems with temporarily filled reservoirs, with a phased construction of waterworks on side tributaries, including secondary ones. Using the computer programs developed by the authors, the operating modes of the hydroelectric system were simulated for a possible variant of placing their sections on the lateral tributary of the river: in the lower reaches- a traditional hydro system with an earth dam and a concrete spillway, including bottom holes and a surface spillway; upstream- an additional hydro system with a filtering dam made of gabion masonry, into which the missing accumulating volume is redistributed. The calculation of the social effect resulting from the considered method of protection by assessing the reduction of economic damage for settlements located in the downstream of the main flood control hydroelectric complex with participation in the cutoff of the flood peak of an additional temporarily filled reservoir located upstream of the river is performed.
