Replenishment = stable water supply

Mikhailo Moskalenko, GES-GAES VP PAES cascade director mediator, about the Pivdenny Bug sequence

“Whose fate saw an abnormally dry summer. While on alert, PAES meteorologists monitored the fact that, in the middle of the day, the average monthly air temperature reached 24.8 °C, which is 1.7 °With more than average (23.1 °MAY). The sickle also has more than 19.2 mm of litter, which is 1.9 times less than the average (36.7 mm). This, crazy, appeared in the Pivdenny Bug camp. The water content of the Serpenty River is characterized as low water by 96%, which means a low-water phase.

Water consumption in the lower part of the river basin can be ensured only by the Oleksandrivska water reservoir with a lower support level of 16.0 m. The role of cultivated livestock feed in cultivated territories, developed near the lower river. Prote, for the remaining 7 years, due to the lack of water potency, OGES did not produce 559 db.

After the Pivdenny Bug drainage basin widened and the flow lost fluidity, the difference in the height of its channel from Oleksandrivka to the Dnieper-Buzky estuary was less than one meter. At the same time, drinking water for renewal and water supply of settlements begins to grow in this branch of the river, as well as in the Voznesenskaya metro station (40 thousand population), the water flow is not increasing.

In a dry month, when the wind blows from the Black Sea, the salty water from the Buzyka estuary rises as a river to Voznesensk. This salinity threatens the population’s drinking water supply. And groundwater salinity makes it difficult to grow agricultural crops on waste lands.

Due to climate change, there will be a change in the water content of the Pivdenny Bug. Hydropower engineers indicate that in the remaining 7 rivers, the flow of water in the channel has changed by more than 1.1 km³ up to 0.8 km³ in the river Significant periods of change follow the analysis of spring floods. In 1845 near the village Oleksandrivka after the spring flood reached 6400 m³/With. The remaining 20 years of the average flood will not exceed 368 m³/With. Starting in 2014, water consumption at the time of spring water supply will increase from 145 to 38 m³/s, then the amount of water that can reach the Oleksandrivsky reservoir changes rapidly.

In addition to the abnormally sunny weather, the small amount of rain and the lack of water stored by the forward rocks, raising the level of the watershed, in my opinion, is the only real option for moving Pivdenny Bug below OGES in front of a critical exchange Lenya. Again, I am naked, rivers flow throughout Europe (the Danube and the Dnieper are not to blame). Ale is around the butt, if the reach of people helps to often compensate for the dryness of fresh water rivers. Implementation of the project to fill the Oleksandrivsky water reservoir to ensure stable water supply with a sanitary clearance of 17 m³/from the lower stream of the Pivdenny Bug. It is difficult to raise water from the Dnieper-Buzky estuary to the upper reaches. In this way, the population is deprived of drinking water and gets water from the river for cultivating the land.”
