Hydrotechnical Construction Aims and scope

Conclusions

  1. 1.

    The Dnieper Hydroelectric Power Station Sequence with reservoirs, controlling the normally irregular Dnieper River flow simultaneously with large energy production, created the prerequisite for extensive irrigation of fertile but arid soil in the southern Ukraine, for converting the Dnieper River into a continuous deep-water channel from the Black Sea to the Pripet estuary and assured the satisfaction of the growing industrial and population water consumption demand not only on river lands but in the water deficient Donbas, Krivoi Rog and Crimea regions.

  2. 2.

    Reservoir building necessarily involves a loss by inundation, but this loss in the Dnieper series is immeasurably small in comparison to the effect on the national economy from energy developed and, in the near future, the growth of crops, water transport and the fish industry.

  3. 3.

    The losses in hydroenergy resulting from increasing diversions for irrigation and water supply must be compensated for by constructing efficient hydrostations on the Dniester River and the right bank tributaries of the Tisza River in the Trans-Carpathian region.

  4. 4.

    To fully satisfy the contemplated water consumption in the near future and prevent the Dnieper-Bug estuary salinization, it is necessary to consider the lower Dnieper Hydrocomplex, substantiating its effectiveness in comparison to alternatives of diverting the Danube or northern rivers waters into the Dnieper.

  5. 5.

    The use of the Dnieper section upstream from Kiev may be found to be expedient in the case of northern river water diversion, and also for the creation of interbasin deep water transport connections.
