ENVIRONMENTAL AND ECO№MIC EFFICIENCY ASPECTS OF EXTERNAL WATER EXCHANGE AND FLOW CONTROL IN DNEPR WATER RESERVOIRS IN DESIGN AND MODERN PARAMETERS
The article presents design and current parameters of each of existing reservoirs, features of hydraulic engineering facilities, total output of the Dnieper River System of Dams (HPPs). The consequences of the construction of the Dnieper HPPs, which had led to changes in the parameters of reservoirs, environmental problems, and affected the operational regime of reservoirs and external water exchange. The author presented proposals for improvement of the environmental situation in the Dnieper basin.
