This article examines the movement of suspended and bottom sediments in a stream, which is considered as a complex problem in the process of water intake from rivers and canals for the needs of energy or the national economy with damless water intakes. The article presents the results of analyzes of experimental and field studies conducted by the authors of the existing problems in assessing the intensity of channel processes in the territory of the damless water intake of the Amudarya River. As well as the development of hydraulic regimes and flow regimes of sediment flow for the proposed structures based on experimental and field studies for the proposed structures is the main goal of research work. In the course of experimental studies, measurements of depth, flow and, on this basis, changes in water flow were made, which were initially elements of flow in straight and curved channels.
