Abstract
The Northern Water Problems Institute of the Karelian Research Centre RAS carries out comprehensive geographic studies of waterfalls in the Republic of Karelia. These activities were enabled by grant support from the Russian Geographical Society within the projects “Historical and geographical monuments of the European North of Russia” (2010), “Unknown waterfalls of Karelia” (2015) and “Unknown waterfalls of the European North of Russia” (2020). During the projects, more than 90 waterfalls in the territory of the republic were identified and cataloged, 46 of them were studied during expeditions to the Northern Ladoga area (2015) and the northern part of Karelia (2020). The research material was entered into the “Waterfalls of Karelia” database and formed the basis for the development of an information and reference system open to a wide range of users. The results of the work have been presented at numerous conferences and in teaching aids for the Tourism Department of the Petrozavodsk State University in the form of recommendations for the protection and recreational use of the waterfalls.

Summary
Разрушенное здание ГЭС Concrete dam, destroyed hydroelectric power station. Есть примеры строительства новых электростанций на месте разрушенных, например, ГЭС «Рюмякоски» и «Каллиокоски» на р. Помимо природной уникальности приладожские водопады отличает то, что их можно рассматривать как характерные примеры гидротехнического освоения Карелии. Водопады юга Республики Карелия (Северное Приладожье), наряду с водопадами северо-запада Ленинградской области (Карельский перешеек), достаточно известны, изучены и задействованы в индустрии туризма. При этом водопады Северной Карелии и Кольского полуострова малоизвестны, их рекреационный потенциал не оценен, они в меньшей степени используются в туризме. Именно поэтому авторским коллективом был разработан проект «Неизвестные водопады Европейского Севера России», целью которого является комплексное исследование современного состояния водопадов Севера европейской территории нашей страны. В рамках проекта, при поддержке экспедиционного гранта РГО (2020 г.), проведено комплексное географическое исследование водопадов севера Карелии и юга Кольского полуострова. Всего исследовано 30 водопадов, 27 из которых находятся в границах республики
