11.1. Water speeds and expenses
The water speeds and areas of cross sections were measured at 20 posts (3 of which were additional). The data on water expenses, calculated according to the measurement figures, and the data - related to the 4 posts (the Dnipro river up stream Mohylyov town, the Dnipro river down stream Rechitza town, the Prypyat river down stream Mozyr town and the Dnipro river down stream Komarin town), where water expenses were calculated taking into account correlations between areas of water collection - are presented in the Table 11.1. Information on water expenses at boundary posts (the Table 11.2) fully corresponds to the analogous data, obtained by Ukrainian expedition.
If we compare the monitoring data of many years (the Table 11.3), we can see that, during the expedition period, for all the posts without exception, water expenses exceeded the water expenses of the calculation October (for calculations, we regarded a year of low water), and, for majority of posts, they were close to the mean data of a long term.
