Impact of the Construction of Hydraulic Structures on the Amur Flow

R. R. Edelshtein and M. G. Grechushnikova

Calculations results of the Amur flow change under the joint effect of Zeya and Bureya hydraulic power sistem are presented. Information on the change in the river flow, sediments, and channel processes on the Zeya River following the construction of the hydraulic power is given. Proballe changes in the Bureya flow, composition of reservoir water masses, and transformation of processes below the Bureya hydropower system are discussed. Changes of portions of transformed Amur water masses along the entire length of the river are calculated.
