Abstract: Considered is the problem of extending the navigation period on river reaches downstream from hydropower plants through control of the discharge and the temperature of the water released downstream. Increased water releases as well as the withdrawal of warm water from the deep layers of the reservoir result in an increased length of the area of open water below the power plant, a later freeze-up and an earlier break-up, which ensures favourable conditions for extending the period of navigation in the river reach considered.
