ABSTRACT

Based of long-term observations, an ecologically justified operating mode of the Dniester reservoir is proposed. This procedure is aimed at preservation of ecosystems of the Dniester delta, their biodiversity and biological production. Spring ecological overflows (drawdowns) of water are subdivided into two groups: ecological-sanitary and reproductive. The procedure of these drawdowns is proposed.
