Innovative design solutions to ensure the environmental safety in the existing water intake technological complexes of water systems for urban farms

摘要

The main design flaws in terms of protection against young fish entering the water intake bucket, sediment inflows, sludge and floating objects, which largely do not provide the current regulatory environmental requirements for ensuring environmental safety (ES) of water intake technological complexes (WITC) directly interacting with the natural water environment (WE) of the water body (MPWS) as a part of the natural technical system (NTS) "WE-WITC-MPWS" were identified during the comprehensive studies to assess the functional effectiveness of existing water intake structures (about 44) of multi-purpose water supply systems ("MPWS.") of urban farms and settlements in the Lower course of the river Don from the Tsimlyansky reservoir to the mouth (Azov). In order to ensure the operating "WITC" operating systems based on the results of constructive studies using domestic experience in the use of high-strength synthetic fabric materials, an innovative design of a water intake structure in the form of a soft floating structure (SFS) has been developed providing the regulatory requirements on the main indicators of ES by 85%-95%.
