Study of the Hydrological Mode of the Volga-Akhtuba Canal Depending on the Hydrograph of the Volzhskaya HPP Operation

Abstract

The flow rates and water flow rates in the Volga-Akhtuba Canal, which is of critical importance in the watering of Akhtuba river and Volga-Akhtuba bottom land territory, have been determined in various hydrologic phases. Relationships between discharge flows through the Volgograd hydroelectric unit and flows through the Volga-Akhtuba Canal have been established. Graphs of the relationship between the water level in the lower canal pound and water flows through the Volgograd hydroelectric unit in various years are constructed. Recommendations are given for additional watering of the Volga-Akhtuba bottom land.
