Оценка связи между изменениями уровня воды в Чиркейском водохранилище и электрическим сопротивлением пород в области правобережья плотины ГЭС

The results of studies of the relationship between seasonal changes in the water level in the reservoir and variations in the apparent electrical resistance of rock mass in the well located in the zone of bypass filtration of the dam. With the help of the method of mid-season functions, the fact of delay of the apparent resistance from the water level in the reservoir is established. The physically grounded mechanisms explaining this influence are offered. Based on the obtained results, a new method of long-term regime observations of the electrical parameters of the rock mass is proposed, which can be used to assess the deformation processes in the sides of high-rise dams associated with changes in the water level in the reservoir.
