Scope, Structure and the Main Results of Hydrologic and Hydrogeologic Monitoring of the Techa Reservoir Cascade Carried Out by Hydrospetsgeology
The article describes arrangement of hydrologic and hydrogeologic monitoring in the area of the Techa Reservoir Cascade of Mayak PA. Over the years, this monitoring has been carried out by Party No. 10 of Hydrospetsgeology Branch "Hydrogeologic Expedition No. 30". Objectives, targets, scope and frequency of observations are discussed; the main results and the identified tendencies and trends are provided.
