Abstract

In this research, attention is focused on the removal of mechanical blockages in river ecosystems in order to eliminate the consequences of intensive anthropogenic impact on water bodies. The article proposes an automated system for separating mechanical blockages, which is a conveyor-type mechanical barrier. The specified system can be the first in a series of the following launch complexes: separation of mechanical blockages; sorting, drying and preparation; emission-free combustion in the innovative Univastum complex, as well as an independent separation system. As a result of the study, the main factors of the influence of river system cleaning systems on the environment were determined, aspects of the variability of such models were described and what they are related to, advantages and disadvantages were described in different cases of cleaning systems of different types, which allowed during further research to focus on finding ways solving local problems, taking into account the available approaches depending on the nature of anthropogenic influence. The group of systems proposed as the basis of effective variability was combined into systems with an average degree of impact on natural systems that, due to the diversity of approaches to different types of conditions, will be able to provide successful results in eliminating the effects of the impact on the water body. Tools for reducing anthropogenic impact, similar to the described systems, belong to the group that must be implemented in the shortest possible time, and will significantly lose their effectiveness over time due to the critical complexity of factors affecting the river system and limited access to information about the components of this impact in the post-war period. The research results will allow further development of recommendations for effective engineering protection of water resources from pollution and depletion in a particular region.
