Today, a regular meeting was held to regulate the operating modes of the reservoirs of the Volga-Kama cascade
Today, the Federal Agency for Water Resources held a regular meeting of the Interdepartmental Working Group on regulating the modes of operation of reservoirs of the Volga-Kama cascade.
The meeting was attended by members of the working group, including representatives of the territorial bodies of Rosvodresursy, Rosrybolovstvo, Rosmorrechflot, the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia, the Ministry of Agriculture of Russia, the Ministry of Natural Resources of Russia, Roshydromet, Rostechnadzor, JSC SO UES, PJSC RusHydro, JSC Tatenergo, and executive authorities of subjects located within the borders of the Volga-The Kama basin.
Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources of the Republic of Tatarstan Alexander Shadrikov took part in the video conference meeting on behalf of the Republic of Tatarstan.
The operating modes of the reservoirs of the Volga-Kama cascade were set for the period from June 12 to July 10.
As of June 11, the Kuibyshev reservoir is filled to the level of 52.61 m BS in the upper reaches of the hydroelectric complex, the Upper Uslon hydropost is 52.63 m BS.
In order to ensure that the Kuibyshev reservoir is filled to a normal retaining level for the summer period, as well as in order to save water resources, the Ministry proposed to establish the following operating modes of reservoir hydroelectric units:
Kuibyshev:
06/13/2024-30.07.2024: 5,500 ± 200 cubic meters/s;
01.07.2024-10.07.2024: 5,000 ± 200 cubic meters/s.
Nizhnekamsk with maintaining the water level in the upper reaches of the hydroelectric dam at 63.0-63.75 m BS.
The proposed mode of operation of the Kuibyshev reservoir hydroelectric complex assumes gradual filling of the reservoir to the level of 52.9 m BS, close to the normal retaining level, by July 1 and further maintaining the level at these levels with a slight (0.5 cm/day) decrease by July 10.
The established modes of operation of hydroelectric reservoirs will be published on the official website of Rosvodresursy.
