On the possible impact of the designed Dzerzhinskoye Reservoir on the Saksagan River on the change in the hydrogeological conditions of the Krivoi Rog mines
Abstract
The main iron‑ore strip of the Krivoy Rog basin is located along the right slope of the Saksagan River valley. Only in the lower reaches of the river does it also pass to the left slope. In this area, under the river bed and in the bank protective pillars, there are large reserves of ore with a high iron content. At present, these reserves are not being developed, since there is a fear that as the ore deposits are mined out, the surface will collapse and the river will flood the mine workings. In order to expand the production capacity of the basin, it is proposed to regulate the flow of the Saksagan River using storage reservoirs. One of these — the Dzerzhinskoye Reservoir — will be located in the lower reaches of the river, i.e., in close proximity to the areas being mined. In this regard, the question arises about the possible influence of the planned reservoir on the hydrogeological conditions of the mines in this part of the Krivoy Rog basin. The very interesting field and archival material we collected during our surveys in the summer of 1945 allows us to draw very definite conclusions on this fundamental issue, to which this article is devoted.
