Flow Distribution, Flooding and Water Engineering Measures in the Volga-Akhtuba Floodplain Region: 2 Modeling

Resumo

The results of studying the hydrological regime ofthe Volga-Akhtuba floodplain based on the joint analysis of observation and hydrodynamic modeling data are presented. The calculated hydrological characteristics are compared with observational data. The areas and boundaries of zones flooded by the water flow from the Akhtuba and Volga rivers are estimated. The efficiency of water engineering activities aimed at the improvement of flooding conditions is analyzed for the most problematic part of the Volga-Akhtuba floodplain.
