Environmental Risks of the Pripyat River in a Changing Climate

Year: 2020

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: The paper considers the hydrological characteristics of the Pripyat River. At the same time, extreme hydrological situations are described - floods and low water levels. The influence of land reclamation carried out in the catchment area on the river runoff was established. Forecast estimates of changes in the flow of the Pripyat River and its tributaries are given. For this, a method of hydrological and climatic calculations based on the joint solution of water and heat and power balances was adopted.
