Economic efficiency of the Volga-Kama dam system
Conclusions The national economy will be greatly benefited by construction of the Volga and Kama hydraulic installations, and the benefits will be progressively greater: higher electric power output, higher capacity of river transport, and further improvement in water supply for agriculture, industry, and household use. Storage basins of the Volga-Kama dam system will supply water for various branches of the national economy. Tentative calculations show a future deficiency of 15–20 km3 of water in connection with the rising industrial and household demands and the planned irrigation of 2.5 million hectares in the Trans-Volga region-this even in the presence of reservoirs which control drainage but also must maintain the navigation channel depth in the dry summer months. This is one of the factors that lends urgency to the task of drainage diversion from the northern rivers to the Volga-Kama basin.
