Abstract: The paper discusses a physico-statistical model proposed for description of the processes of ice jam and dam formation and breaking downstream of hydro power plants operating under daily and weekly load cycle conditions. It is shown that construction of a counter-regulating reservoir permits the water discharges in tailraces of hydro power plants to be stabilized to average daily ones, thus making it possible to prevent ice jams and dams formation. Additionally, such a reservoir enables the length of the open water area to be reduced considerably.
