Initial filling of a carryover reservoir

Conclusions

• 1. The initial filling of the Toktogul reservoir was accomplished without observance of the design recommendations.

• 2. At present, in connection with the introduction of limitations in the Syr Darya WMS, regulation has been initiated by the basin water-resources management. This should have a favorable effect on the initial filling of the Toktogul reservoir.

• 3. For the successful passage of the period of initial filling of the reservoir it is necessary to adhere to the rules of using water resources with a set of programs for managing the reservoir under various water-management conditions and to ensure their fulfillment.

• 4. Under conditions of a shortage of water resources it is advisable to reduce the time of initial filling of the carryover reservoir by reducing the design yield only in relatively small, limited amounts.
