Conclusions
-
1.
The Bratsk reservoir experience showed that the process of filling large reservoirs should be calculated with consideration of various economic factors.
-
2.
For the successful development of the shore territories of reservoirs it is necessary to select the construction sites with consideration of possible occurrence of karstic and landslide processes; the construction of heavy structures requires special karst-control measures.
-
3.
The regime of drawdown of the carryover storage of a reservior subsequently must be designated with consideration of experience gained in elminating the difficulties arising for all branches of the water-management complex.
