Analysis of the turbidity process in the pumping station forebay for the water management

Abstract The article’s analysis focuses on the turbidity process in the pumping station’s forebay, which is one of the current issues with water management. The KFK-Sokh pumping station, located in the PK-1995+00 section of the Big Fergana main canal, was selected as a research object. In natural field studies, several characteristic cross-sections along the length of the forebay were selected. To determine the amount of turbidity in the stream, water samples were taken along the size and depth of each section. The amount of turbidity in the obtained samples was determined using the Spectrophotometer UV755 device. Considering the variability of water consumption, the speed distribution along the length and depth of the forebay was studied. The influence of the flow rate change at the entrance to the forebay on fuzzy printing is analyzed. Conclusions and recommendations are given based on the obtained results.
