Analysis of anomalies in the control probes of the Rozgrund dam

Abstract

The subject of the contribution is to clarify the causes of anomalous development of water levels in some observation objects of the Rozgrund dam. To clarify the anomalous development of the water levels, a detailed analysis of the development of water levels in all observation probes built on the dam, the water levels in the reservoir and the daily total precipitation was performed. An important knowledge is the amplitudes of fluctuations in water levels in observation probes and in the water levels in the reservoir. The calculations of correlation coefficient, expressing the relationship between water level in individual boreholes and the water level in the reservoir are another step in assessment of anomalies. Based on the knowledge obtained, it was possible to assess the degree of the influence of the water level in the reservoir on the development of the water level regime in observation objects. At the same time, it was also possible to detect the existence of other effects influenced the water levels in the probes, such as the leakage into their surroundings caused by precipitation or the impact of waters flowing from hillslopes.
