Zolotov Careful research is needed on building HES because of the uniqueness of the structures and their equipment, particularly in relation to the variety of natural conditions. Research is needed in designing and building such plant and major water-handling systems because of the following conditions:the tendency to exploit hydroelectric resources in regions having difficult natural conditions, the need to provide high reliability and safety in the structures, the need to provide elevated economy in the use of hydroelectric energy by comparison with alternative sources, and the need to reduce the adverse effects of the plant on the environment. Those circumstances have made it necessary to carry through research as an essential part of the design and as the decisive factor in improving the engineering design and economic performance of hydroelectric engineering, which was the case in the Soviet Union from as long ago as the 1930s. At that time, research laboratories were set up directly at major constructional sites such as the White Sea-Baltic Canal, the Uglich and Rybinsk reservoirs on the Volga, and the construction of
