JUSTIFICATION OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION TECHNOLOGIES FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF UNDERWATER WATER INTAKE STRUCTURES

The work is devoted to the study of environmental protection technologies for the construction of new structures of subsurface water intake structures developed by the author. Based on the analysis of the operation of existing water intake facilities in the foothill areas of small rivers, the reasons for the low efficiency of their operation have been identified, high energy and material consumption, respectively, and high cost of supplied irrigation water. New, efficient channel-type water intake structures are proposed, which can also be used for land reclamation purposes. The designs and technological working conditions of subsurface water intakes make it possible to purify and supply water to the consumer without installing special settling tanks. Constructive and technological solutions have been prepared, protected by patents for inventions that help to effectively combat sediments, increase the coefficient of water intake and regulate water supply to consumers.
