The History of the Design and Construction of the Ob-Yenisei Canalстатья из журнала
Аннотация: The issue of developing shipping communications in the Yenisei region constantly attracts the attention of the researchers.A new wave of interest in the problem of the Ob-Yenisei Canal arose in the 1980-1990s, which was associated with research of the canal by employees of the Novosibirsk Institute of Water Transport.In this article, based on the analysis of materials from the chronicle of A.I. Kytmanov, the progress of survey and construction work was reconstructed, significant events in public life that accompanied the construction of the canal were considered, and the persons who directly influenced the work were shown.The object of study of this article is the history of the survey and construction work of the Ob-Yenisei Canal.The authors focus on the evolution of views on possible ways to connect the two rivers, the role of the government and public of the Yenisei province in this process.The authors note that the discussion of the projects was lengthy, which is explained by the complexity of the conditions of the proposed construction and its high cost.It is worth noting the significant role of representatives of the local community, primarily merchants, in the preparation and financing of reconnaissance expeditions.The authors note that despite a long study of possible junctions of the Ob and Yenisei, as well as expensive construction, local merchants and industrialists were never able to take full advantage of the canal.During operation, limitations for large-scale shipping became obvious: insufficient water levels in the Ket and Kas rivers, terrain features that limited the ability to create a large supply of water, and significant water consumption in the lock system.
