Exploration of the operating mode of irrigation reservoirs in the lower reaches of the Amudarya river

Abstract

The article deals with the results of gild studies of regimes of work of irrigational sumps, working without dam and at dam water intake from the river Amudarya. The regimes of peculiarities of sedimentation are identified and dynamics of siltation of sediments in sumps in conditions of changing water levels and channel processes in the water intake zone. Recommendations for improving the operation mode of the settling tanks in the lower reaches of the Amudarya river are propsed.
