  • Anthropogenic Transformation of Hydrological Regime of the Dnieper River
    Manuscript Number: 2701 Indian Journal of Ecology (2018) 45(3): 445-453 NAAS Rating: 4.96 Anthropogenic Transformation of Hydrological Regime of The Dnieper River Vitalii Ivanovich Pichura, Daria Sergeevna Malchykova1, Pavel Aleksandrovich Ukrainskij2, Iryna Aleksandrovna Shakhman and Anastasiia Nikolaevna Bystriantseva1 Kherson State Agricultural University, Ukraine, 73006, Kherson, Stritens'ka str. 23, 1Kherson State University, Ukraine, 7300 0, Kherson, Universitets'ka str. 27, 2Belgorod State National Research University, Russian Federation, 308015, Belgorod, 85 Pobedy Str. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. Problems of rational water use and water quality assessment are the priorities of many states, especially in the basins of transboundary rivers. Creation and functioning of the cascade of Dnieper reservoirs led to a radical transformation of the hydrological regime of the Dnieper River. As a result, there occurred a significant deterioration of the physical, chemical and biological characteristics of surface water quality, increase of its trophic state, reduction of the efficiency and stability of the aquatic ecosystem of the Dnieper basin, which is largely determined by anthropogenic factors. As a result of interpretation the series of space images (August, 1986-2016) of the satellites Landsat- 5, Landsat- 7 and Landsat-8 with a spatial resolution of 30 meters, the spatio-temporal trend of changes in physical (water transparency), hydrochemical (general phosphorus concentration in water), biological (chlorophyll-a) properties of water areas of reservoirs was determined. In studies trophic state index developed by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection was used to classify all types of water surface, including rivers. It is established that the value of trophic state index in reservoirs is distributed unevenly from 26.5 to 56.5.

Anpilova (Institute of Telecommunications and Global Information Space of NASU), Y. Yakovliev (Institute of Telecommunications and Global Information Space of NASU), O. Hordiienko (Institute of Telecommunications and Global Information Space of NASU) SUMMARY Regional flooding caused by disruption of water-energy exchange between the surface and underground hydrosphere has become more frequent in Kherson region. The article analyses changes in the upper zone of regional hydrogeofiltration, engineering-geological and seismo-geophysical changes in the geological environment (GE). The anthropogenic factors and dynamics of the flood process formation and its ecological and anthropogenic impact on the GE are revealed. The quantitative characteristic of infiltration feeding of ground waters as the main eco-geo-information factor depending on natural- technogenic factors of its formation is given. The estimation and forecast of possible increase of a level of underground waters in the region, using GIS-technologies, and also the risk of emergencies in the system of functioning of industrial and agricultural potential of the whole region is shown. Geoinformatics 2021 11-14 May 2021, Kyiv, Ukraine Introduction Kherson region is located in the zone of regional drainage of ground and surface waters by the Black Sea and the Dnipro River. Active development, in recent decades, of water irrigation (up to 25% of the area), the damming of the Dnipro River as a regional drain (+ 14 meters above sea level), the construction of a large number of ponds (about 200) have led to a backflow of surface and groundwater.

Pešić: 15 November 2019 │ Published online 3 December 2019. Abstract In December 2016, the common perсarina Percarina demidoffii Nordmann, 1840 has been evidentiary detected in the Dniprovske (Zaporizske) reservoir for the first time. Two specimens of percarina were caught in the rowing channel area (the upper part of the reservoir) near the Dnipro city. One individual was caught there in 2017 as well. The paper presents their morphological characteristics, as well as a comparison with specimens from the brackish waters of the Dniester estuary (the Black Sea). The preliminary data allow us to assume that differences in some plastic characters may have adaptive character in relation to the environment. There are no any meristic differences between these fishes. It is noted that the new finding of this fish species in the cascade of Dniprovske reservoirs allows us consider P. demidoffii as not mesohaline but as a freshwater-oligohaline species. The finding of the common percarina in the Dniprovske reservoir confirms a few earlier published data about the advance of this fish upstream of the Dnieper River and extends its current range.

In the 1970s, six dams were commissioned, and respective monitoring infrastructure was installed. Riverbanks and valley floors composed of unconsolidated material have much lower bank strengths and are susceptible to fluvial erosion and bank collapse, particularly during the release of high flow volumes from hydropower dams. The regulation of the Dnieper River along a cascade of storage reservoirs caused significant changes in its active river channel and hydrological regime. In order to estimate channel stability downstream of the Kaniv reservoir, we conducted an analysis of the hydraulic conditions in terms of changes in flow velocity and propagation of waves caused by intervention water discharges from the Kaniv Hydroelectric Power Plant (HPP).

Box 993, Annandale, New Jersey 08801 YURI PLIGIN Institute of Hydrobiology, Kiev, Ukraine AND BERNIE MAY Genome Variation Analysis Facility, Department of Natural Resources, Fernow Hall, Cornell University, Ithaca, New York 14853 SYNOPSIS. North America’s Great Lakes have recently been invaded by two genetically and morphologically distinct species of Dreissena. The zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) became established in Lake St. Clair of the Laurentian Great Lakes in 1986 and spread throughout eastern North America. The second dreissenid, termed the quagga mussel, has been identified as Dreissena bugensis Andrusov, 1897. The quagga occurs in the Dnieper River drainage of Ukraine and now in the lower Great Lakes of North America. In the Dnieper River, populations of D. poly- morpha have been largely replaced by D. bugensis; anecdotal evidence indicates that similar trends may be occurring in the lower Laurentian Great Lakes. Dreissena bugensis occurs as deep as 130 m in the Great Lakes, but in Ukraine is known from only 0-28 m. Dreissena bugensis is more abundant than D. polymorpha in deeper waters in Dneiper River reservoirs.

  • Comparative Analyses of Different Modelling Approaches to Simulate Radionuclide Transport Through the Dnieper Reservoirs Based on Extremal Flood 1999 Scenario
    Radioprotection - Colloques, volume 37, Cl (2002) Cl-677 Comparative analyses of different modelling approaches to simulate radionuclide transport through the Dnieper reservoirs based on extremal flood 1999 scenario O.V. Voitsekhovich, M. Zheleznyak1 and L. Monte2 Ukrainian Hydrometeorological Institute, Nauka Av. 37, 251028 Kiev, Ukraine 11nstitute of Mathematical Machines and Systems, National Academy of Ukraine, Prospect Glushkova 42, 03187 Kiev, Ukraine 2 ENEA, Italy Abstract. The highest flood since the Chernobyl accident took place in River Pripyat in spring 1999. The most contaminated left-side flood-plain upstream the Chernobyl Nuclear Plant has been protected from flooding by a dike constructed in 1992. However right-side flood plain was inundated within a month. Near the Yanov Bay the shallow waste storage sites were inundated. The concentration of 90Sr in the water discharged from this territory to the river has increased to 100000 Bq/m3 at the end of the flooding. The maximum concentration of 90Sr in the river Pripyat the city of Chernobyl was 2000 Bq/m3. The propagation of the sharp pick of radionuclide concentration was monitored in Dnieper reservoir cascade for, approximately, six months. The measured data were processed by statistical methods and were used to develop a scenario for testing radionuclide migration models within the Inco- Copernicus project COMETES. The recommendations for the choice of the size of the computational compartments are suggested accounting for the characteristics of the water bodies. 1. INTRODUCTION The data on the radioactive contamination of the Dnieper River and reservoirs have been used since the Chernobyl accident for the validation of the models of aquatic dispersion of radionuclides.
