Abstract:

Preventive emptying of lakes in moraine-glacial complexes is a crucial measure for reducing the damage caused by debris flows. The selection of an optimal emptying method requires consideration of the morphometric characteristics of moraine-glacial complexes, use of water flow energy, application of explosives, and mechanized earthworks.
