HYDRO POWER PLANT “KRAPIVINSKY”: CURRENT STATE AND POSSIBLE RISKS

Abstract

Rational nature management is a priority in the development of science and technology based on environ-mental monitoring. Natural ecosystems located in industrial areas are under significant anthropogenic pres-sure, as a result of which the negative impact on the environment and biodiversity has increased. Various archival documents and other sources of scientific and technical information on the construction and current state of the Krapivsky reservoir were analyzed. The study results allowed to justify theoretically the need for a comprehensive ecological monitoring of the reservoir’s zone of influence and its current condition. The importance of its practical implementation on a systematic methodological basis using the earth remote sensing and geoinformation mapping was detected.
