Singles discharges on Bureyskaya plant began on August 14

Singles discharges on Bureyskaya plant began August 142013 due to increased inflow and achievement level of the reservoir 25460 and lasted until August 29. The maximum inflow for the period August flood was observed 15082013 and amounted to 5390 m 3 ;/p. Discharges at this point do not exceed 3000 m 3 ;/p. Thus, cutting off the peaks, he\’s acted throughout the flood. As a result of the reservoir had dropped almost 3.8 km 3;, withheld — more than 5 km 3;. Currently, the plant closed Bureyskaya all eight operational spillway gates. As of August 30 the value of the inflow was 1575 m 3 ;/p. The flow through the hydro is 934 m3 /s. The level of the reservoir rose for the day at 2 cm to 25475 meters downstream level — 13672 m According to the Hydromet Boureisk reservoir inflow in August 31 will be 1500 m3 /s with a reduction of up to 1400 m3 /s on 1 September. Hydraulic structures Bureyskaya power plant are in good condition and meet the regulatory requirements for resistance, water resistance and strength of the filter. According to specialists, and Zeya hydro power plant Bureyskaya kept in their reservoirs, about two-thirds of the inflow of the Zeya and Bureya caused by abnormal flooding — in less than two months of floods in the Zeya reservoir came almost annual rate of water. Hydrologists estimate that during the flood runoff hydropower detained, comparable to the drain of such rivers as the Songhua River. In the absence of hydropower plants on the Bureya Zee and this huge volume of water would have gone down — Blagoveshchensk on the Amur and further — to Khabarovsk. Thus, both of these hydroelectric seriously reduced the scale flooding in the Amur region. Flooding in the basin of the Amur beat the historical record, such major floods in the region is not fixed for the entire more than 120 year period.
