Use of remote sensing data to study ice cover in the Dnipro Reservoirs Viktor I. Vyshnevskyi1, Serhii A. Shevchuk2 1Institute of Water Problems and Land Reclamation,Ukraine, [email protected] 2Institute of Water Problems and Land Reclamation,Ukraine, [email protected] Received: 20.06.2019 Abstract. The information on the use of remote sensing data when studying the ice cover Received in revised form: 30.06.2019 of the Dnipro Reservoirs is given. The main source of data was the images obtained by the Accepted: 29.12.2019 satellites Sentinel-2, Landsat, Aqua and Terra. In addition, the observation data from the hydrological and meteorological stations were used. The combination of these data enabled to study the patterns of ice regime in the Dnipro Reservoirs, to specify some features that cannot be determined by regular monitoring. A typical feature of the ice cover of all reservoirs of the Dnipro Cascade, besides the Kyivske one, is the impact of hydropower plants (HPP) located upstream. The runoff of the rivers flowing into the Kyivske Reservoir significantly influences its ice cover. This is especially relates to the period of spring flood. Besides the Dnipro and the Pripyat Rivers, relatively small the Teteriv and the Irpin Rivers flowing from the south-west to the north-east have a rather significant effect on the ice cover of this reservoir. The distribution of ice cover in the Kanivske Reservoir, compared to the Kanivske one, is significantly less. In addition to more southern location and warmer climate, the city of Kyiv also influences the ice cover on it, namely due to the discharge of wastewater from several industrial enterprises, Kyivska TPP-5 and Bortnitska Station of Aeration are ones of them. The impact of Trypilska TPP, which located downstream, is also significant. The longest duration of ice cover in the Kanivske Reservoir is observed in its south-eastern part. A point of interest about the Kremenchuts’ke Reservoir is the fact that the ice cover in it remains for the longest period compared to the other reservoirs. The largest duration of ice cover in this reservoir is observed in the Sulska Bay. The typical feature of the Kamianske Reservoir is the accumulation of ice in its narrow parts. Within the Dniprovske Reservoir, the longest freezing period is observed in the Samara Bay. Besides the operation of hydropower station, the industrial enterprises of Kamianske town and Dnipro city have a great effect on the upper part of this reservoir. There are significant differences in the ice regime of the different parts of the Kakhovske Reservoir, which extends from the north-east to the south-west. The distribution of ice in its shallow north-eastern part is usually much larger than in narrower south-western part. Key words: remote sensing, ice cover, air temperature, the Dnipro Reservoirs Використання даних дистанційного зондування Землі у дослідженнях крижаного покри- ву дніпровських водосховищ В. І. Вишневський1, С. А. Шевчук2 1Інститут водних проблем і меліорації НААН, Україна, [email protected] 2Інститут водних проблем і меліорації НААН, Україна, [email protected] Анотація. Наведено відомості щодо можливості використання дистанційного зондування Землі у дослідженнях крижаного по- криву дніпровських водосховищ. Основним джерелом даних були зображення, отримані супутниками Sentinel-2, Landsat, а та- кож Aqua і Terra. Крім того, використано матеріали спостережень на гідрологічних постах, а також метеостанціях, що прилеглі до водосховищ. Поєднання цих даних дало змогу дослідити закономірності льодового режиму у дніпровських водосховищах, знайти деякі особливості, які звичайний моніторинг зафіксувати не може. Характерною особливістю крижаного покриву всіх водосховищ каскаду, за винятком Київського, є вплив розташованих вище за течією ГЕС. Утворення криги у Київському водо- сховищі починається в його північно-східній частині. На крижаний покрив цього водосховища істотно впливає стік річок, що у нього впадають. Особливо це стосується періоду весняного водопілля. У цей час на крижаний покрив, окрім Дніпра та Прип’яті, впливають навіть порівняно невеликі річки Тетерів та Ірпінь, які течуть з південного заходу на північний схід. Поширення льодоставу у Канівському водосховищі, порівняно з Київським, істотно менше. Це зумовлено південнішим розташуванням водосховища, м’якішим кліматом, а також роботою Київської ГЕС і скидами підприємств м. Києва. До них, зокрема, належать Київська ТЕЦ-5 і Бортницька станція аерації. Нижче за течією додається вплив Трипільської ТЕС. Найдовше в Канівському водосховищі крига зберігається в його південно-східній частині. Цікавою особливістю Кременчуцького водосховища є те, що крижаний покрив у ньому звичайно зникає найпізніше. Найбільша тривалість льодоставу тут характерна для Сульської затоки. 206 Viktor I. Vyshnevskyi, Serhii A. Shevchuk Journ. Geol. Geograph. Geoecology, 29(1), 206–216. У Кам’янському водосховищі часто утворюються скупчення криги в його звужених місцях. У Дніпровському водосховищі найбільша тривалість льодоставу властива для Самарської затоки. На крижаний покрив у верхній частині цього водосховища, окрім роботи ГЕС, впливають скиди промислових підприємств міст Кам’янське та Дніпро. Значні відмінності в льодовому режимі має Каховське водосховище, що витягнуте з північного сходу на південний захід. Поширення криги в його мілководній північно-східній частині звичайно значно більше, ніж у звуженій південно-західній.

    2.5 Ukraine Waterways Assessment

    2.5 Ukraine Waterways Assessment Ukraine has high potential navigable rivers - over 4 thousand km: there are traditional waterways Dnipro - 1,205 km and its tributaries (Desna- 520 km, Pripyat - 60 km) and Dunay - 160 km, Bug - 155 km, and other so-called small rivers. Dnipro River and its major tributaries Desna and Pripyat carried out to 90% of total transport. The remaining 10% are Dunai and other rivers (Desna, Dniester, Southern Bug, Seversky Donets, Ingulets, Vorskla, etc.). Since Ukraine gained independence in 1991, length of river waterways decreased almost twice (from 4 thousand. Km to 2.1 thousand. Km). At the same time the density of river shipping routes reduced 1.75 times; intensity of freight transport - in 4,3 times, and passenger transportation - 7.5 times The volume of traffic fellt to 60 mln. MT in 1990 to 12 mln. MT in 2006, and then - to 5 mln. MT in 2014. Over the past two or three years, inland waterway transportation is only 0.2 - 0.8% of all the cargo traffic. The main categories of goods that are transported via inland waterway – agricultural products (mainly grain), metal products, chemicals. Company Information Only few companies operate on rivers. First, it is a private company "Ukrrichflot" http://ukrrichflot.ua/en/ , declares the presence of about 100 vessels of various types and their ports and other elements of the port infrastructure. The second important market player - Agrocorporation "NIBULON" http://www. nibulon.com/ . The company owns a private fleet and private river terminals. Dnipropetrovsk River

Assessment of the environmental contamination and the resulting radiation exposure of the population was an important part of the International Chernobyl Project in 1990–1991. This project was designed to assess the measures that the then USSR Government had taken to enable people to live safely in contaminated areas, and to evaluate the measures taken to safeguard human health there. It was organized by the IAEA under the auspices of an International Advisory Committee with the participation of the Commission of the European Communities (CEC), the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the International Labour Organisation (ILO), the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR), the World Health Organization (WHO) and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). The IAEA has also been engaged in further studies in this area through projects such as the one on validation of environmental model predictions (VAMP) and through its technical co-operation programme.

    The Long Shadow of Donbas Reintegrating Veterans and Fostering Social Cohesion in Ukraine By JULIA FRIEDRICH and THERESA LÜTKEFEND Almost 400,000 veterans who fought on the Ukrainian side in Donbas have since STUDY returned to communities all over the country. They are one of the most visible May 2021 representations of the societal changes in Ukraine following the violent conflict in the east of the country. Ukrainian society faces the challenge of making room for these former soldiers and their experiences. At the same time, the Ukrainian government should recognize veterans as an important political stakeholder group. Even though Ukraine is simultaneously struggling with internal reforms and Russian destabilization efforts, political actors in Ukraine need to step up their efforts to formulate and implement a coherent policy on veteran reintegration. The societal stakes are too high to leave the issue unaddressed. gppi.net This study was funded by the Konrad Adenauer Foundation in Ukraine.

Fulcieri Maltini Ph.D. SMIEEE, life, PES, Comsoc FM Consultants Associates, France Keywords Nuclear power, Disaster engineering, Decommissioning, Waste management & disposal, Buildings, structures & design. Abstract On April 26, 1986, the Unit 4 of the RBMK nuclear power plant of Chernobyl, in Ukraine, went out of control during a test at low-power, leading to an explosion and fire. The reactor building was totally demolished and very large amounts of radiation were released into the atmosphere for several hundred miles around the site including the nearby town of Pripyat. The explosion leaving tons of nuclear waste and spent fuel residues without any protection and control. Several square kilometres were totally contaminated. Several hundred thousand people were affected by the radiation fall out. The radioactive cloud spread across Europe affecting most of the northern, eastern, central and southern Europe. The initiative of the G7 countries to launch an important programme for the closure of some Soviet built nuclear plants was accepted by several countries. A team of engineers was established within the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development were a fund was provided by the donor countries for the entire design, management of all projects and the plants decommissioning. The Chernobyl programme includes the establishment of a safety strategy for the entire site remediation and the planning for the plant decommissioning. Several facilities that will process and store the spent fuel and the radioactive liquid and solid waste as well as to protect the plant damaged structures have been designed and are under construction.
