Regime of deposition of sediments in the head settlement basin of the supply channel of pumping stations

Abstract

The article presents the results of a study of the mode of inflow and dynamics of sedimentation on the inlet part of the canal. The results of field studies of the state of the channel situation in the supply channels of pumping stations are studied. The process of siltation of the head sump of pumping stations is analyzed. A method for regulating solid runoff into the inlet sections of the canal has been developed. And also by the nature of the change in the hydraulic elements of the flow, the time of siltation of the sump and cleaning the length of the investigated section of the channel were determined. Based on the results of a full-scale study of the supply channel, a recommendation was developed to improve its operation.
