Short summary
This paper presents a method for determining the impact of dam reservoirs on the occurrence of ice cover on rivers downstream of their location. It was found that the operation of dam reservoirs reduces the duration of ice cover and significantly affects the ice regime of rivers. Based on the results presented, it can be assumed that dam reservoirs play an important role in transforming ice conditions on rivers.
