Assessment of Ecological Safety in Zones of Influence of Water Intake Technological Complex of Multipurpose Water Supply Systems

Abstract

The use of water resources in various types of economic activity (EA) of industrial and agricultural production, the generation of electrical energy at a nuclear power plant (NPP), the State District Power Plant (SDPP), a thermal power plant (TPP), a hydroelectric power station (HES), communal sphere, water supply and sanitation of urban households, etc. is inherently associated with existing and under construction new water intake technological complexes (“WITC”) . In the development of the class of natural-technical systems (NTS) “Natural Environment-Object of Activity-Population” (“NE-OA-P”) on the use of water resources in the multifaceted types of economic and other activities, giving the results of theoretical studies of a specialized type “NTS” in where the component “NE” means the natural water environment (NWE) of a water body as a source of the multi-purpose water supply system (MWS) of the objects of urban households, settlements, enterprises of the fuel and energy complex (TPP, HES, NPP); Under the “OA” water intake technological complex (WITC) is considered, which includes various for the functional purpose of hydraulic structures (HS) and devices for ensuring the selection of estimated water flow (Qm3/s) with an environmentally safe level of protection of the water environment of the water body in the zones of influence of the WITC and the functional work of the treatment facilities in the composition of the MWS; under the “P” is MWS that provides water of normative quality to specific water consumers
