Use of Aerial-Photography Surveys in Drawing Up Plans for Hydroelectric Power Stations USSR.
Abstract
A wide range of measures for the complete utilization of water resources has been worked out in the planning of hydroelectric power stations. Besides the development of the water power of rivers, measures for the reconstruction of water transport, irrigation, etc., are provided for in the plans. Great reservoirs are being created in connection with the construction of hydroelectric power stations on the rivers of the plains. The creation of reservoirs makes necessary measures for the rebuilding of inundated objects removed from the zone of the reservoir, and for preparation of the bed of the reservoir for filling and exploitation.- The following data will give an idea of the scale of such measures: in connection with the construction of the Kremenchugskiy reservoir on the %nieper River 147,000 people had to be resettled, and the volume of wood removed and cleared for the preparation of the bed of the reservoir for the Biatskaya Hydroelectric Power Station on the Angara River consisted of more than 40 million cubic meters. Thus great national economic problems are solved in the planning and construction of hydroelectric power stations, and the sphere of projected studies embraces a large territory the extent of which in a number of cases has materially increased as a result of inclucding in the planning the regions surrounding rivers.
