Operational Reliability And Safety Of The Karmana Hydro Junction: Assessment Of Natural, Technical, And Climatic Factors

Abstract

This article addresses the assessment of operational reliability and safety of the Karmana hydro junction from scientific, theoretical, and practical perspectives. Systematically studied are the natural, technogenic, and limiting factors affecting the safety of hydraulic structures. The influence of changes in river hydrological regime, seismic activity, engineering-geological and hydrogeological conditions, climatic factors, and processes of filtration and suffosion on the stability of the hydro junction are substantiated. Similarly, scientifically grounded conclusions and recommendations have been developed to increase the reliability of the hydro junction by improving the technical condition of water discharge structures and drainage systems.
