ENGINEERING-HYDRAULIC ASPECTS OF THE HYDROLOGY OF BOGS IN THE NORTH OF EUROPEAN RUSSIA

V. A. Shutov

Elements of the hydrological regime of bogs in the north of European Russia are considered as applied to estimating its transformation in the design of linear engineering structures. A general characterization of bogginess is given with a brief description of major types of bogs in the region. Natural bog regulation of runoff is studied, which is generally characterized by a decrease in peak maximum water levels and discharges during spring flood. A qualitative analysis of the technogenic transformation of the runoff from bog areas is conducted. A procedure is developed and calculations are carried out to estimate changes in the level of bog waters in typical bog landscapes crossed with pipelines under construction.
