Purpose: to evaluate quantitatively the efficiency of using a network of storage ponds to reduce maximum water levels in a river channel during flood periods, and to reduce flooding of adjacent agricultural areas.

Materials and methods. Low-hazard flood characteristics were used as initial data. The maximum rainfall runoff for a given probability of exceedance was calculated using the methodology of the “Guidelines for Calculating Rainfall Discharges” (Glavtransproekt, Soyuzdorproekt). The proposed approach involves a cascade arrangement of storage tanks along the length of the watercourse from source to mouth, which allows for the gradual redistribution of additional water entering the channel during periods of heavy rainfall, reducing the hydraulic load on the outlet section and, as a result, reducing the water level rise and eliminating (completely or partially) flooding of agricultural land.

Results. To ensure the efficient use of flood runoff, a storage pond network along the river's flow is proposed. This method of water storage not only provides additional irrigation for agricultural lands but also reduces the intensity of floodwater rise, thereby minimizing economic damage.

Conclusions. The results obtained demonstrate the positive impact of implementing a storage pond network. For a calculated rainfall intensity probability of 0.1 %, the implementation of the proposed technical solution (water storage along the riverbed from source to mouth) reduced the flood zone width from the shoreline by 9.1 times (from 155.5 to 17.1 m). The proposed technical solution contributes to both solving irrigation problems and mitigating the negative consequences of flood periods.
