The Kuibyshev reservoir will soon switch to the mode of accumulation of water resources
A meeting of the Interdepartmental Working Group on regulation of the operation modes of the reservoirs of the Volga-Kama Cascade was held today. It was attended by representatives of Rosrybolovstvo, Rosmorrechflot, Roshydromet, RAO "UES of Russia", PJSC "RusHydro" and executive authorities of subjects, including Volgograd, Astrakhan, Saratov regions, the Republic of Mari El. Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources of the Republic of Tatarstan Alexander Shadrikov and a representative of JSC Tatenergo took part in the meeting on behalf of the Republic of Tatarstan. Also, the Deputy head of the Tatar branch of the VNIRO Federal State Budgetary Institution, Yuri Severov was present at the meeting.
The modes of operation of the reservoirs of the Volga-Kama cascade for the period from May 19 to June 10 were considered. The majority of votes supported the completion of the special permit (fishing shelf) and the transition of the Kuibyshev reservoir to the mode of accumulation of water resources.
The established regimes will be published on the website of the Federal Agency for Water Resources.
In accordance with the forecast calculations of Rosvodresurs, the water level in the Kuibyshev reservoir will begin to rise after May 21.
Let us recall that at the previous meeting, Alexander Shadrikov made a proposal to shorten the duration of the special pass, since according to the Federal Hydrometeorological Service, the inflow to the reservoirs of the Volga-Kama cascade in the 2nd quarter will be only 82% of the norm (139 cubic km), which practically corresponds to the lower limit of the previously given forecast of 136-166 cubic km.
The next meeting of the Interdepartmental Working Group on regulating the operating modes of the reservoirs of the Volga-Kama Cascade will be held approximately on June 7, 2022.
