Вертикальные деформации русла Немана и влияние на них антропогенных факторов

Аннотация

The paper discusses natural and anthropogenic factors of the foeman River longitudinal profile formation. The rate of natural erosion processes was estimated within the upper and middle reaches of the river, and so was the alluviation rate in the lower reaches. The down cutting is shown to accelerate owing to land reclamation, channel straightening and guarring. The construction of the Kaunas Hydropower Station led to inversion of processes of erosion and alluviation.
