Conclusions
Under conditions of a canyonlike profile of a mountain river dam in a region with a high design seismic activity, an intake with tiered tunnels at an earth dam was the most economical and provided diversion of the river and intake of water during construction, high reliability of operation and stability of the structure as well as the requirements of the operating service imposed on the intake of water from the reservoir.
