The problems of water lag time during flood forecasting, the rate of pollution spreading over the basin area in the event of industrial accidents, the transport of suspended and dissolved substances by rivers, and planning of erosion control measures are very relevant today. Within the framework of the basin approach, an elementary water catchment can be adopted as an elementary unit for the analysis of a particular territory. At the same time, river bed slopes determine the power of the water flow, and the average slopes of water catchments significantly affect the formation of river flow, the nature of the hydrological regime and determine the erosion potential of the territory. The object of the study is the basin of the Karay river, located in the southeastern part of the OkaDon plain. The Karay river is a right tributary of the Khoper river (the Don river basin). For the Karay river basin the river bed slopes and average gradients of catchment slopes are calculated and analyzed. The calculations were based on the digital elevation model created in GIS MapInfo. It is shown that the average slopes of the territories within the Karay river basin range from 0.4° to 1.4°.
В статье представлены данные о ресурсах поверхностного стока в бассейне реки Воронеж в пределах территории Тамбовской области. Приведены карты модулей стока за летние месяцы, дана оценка объёма стока с изученной территории за каждый из летних месяцев.
In this paper the data on surface runoff resources in the Voronezh River basin within the territory of the Tambov region are shown. The maps of runoff modules for the summer months are presented, and an estimate of the runoff volume from the studied territory for each of the summer months is given.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
