Goals & Problems
The project aims to probe the ground structure of the reservoir dam and identify locations of leakage of chemical waste at the reservoir site of OAO "Soda" in Sterlitamak, Republic of Bashkortostan. Within the dam structure, zones of moisture-saturated soil have been discovered, indicating erosion processes caused by water flows within the hydraulic structure. These processes have led to the formation of active drainage zones through the dam, resulting in periodic collapses and subsidence.
