EXTREME SPRING FLOODING OF 2025 IN THE REPUBLIC OF BASHKORTOSTAN: CAUSES, FORECASTING, AND FIELD OBSERVATIONS

Annotation. This paper analyzes the distinctive features of the 2025 spring flood event in the Republic of Bashkortostan, marked by the formation of ice jams on mountainous and foothill rivers. Particular emphasis is placed on the morphological characteristics of river channels and their role in the development of flood-prone conditions. Data on the actual progression of events on the Inzer, Sim, and Yuryuzan rivers are presented, and areas with high-risk ice-jamming are compared against observed patterns of ice breakup. The effectiveness of implemented preventive measures, including ice blackening, saw-cutting, controlled blasting, and aerial reconnaissance, is evaluated. A key dependence is identified between geomorphological features of riverbeds and ice-jam probability, as well as the critical importance of timely response. The obtained conclusions can be used to update territorial protection plans and optimize engineering solutions for preventing floods caused by ice jams in mountainous terrain.

Keywords: extreme spring flood, mountain rivers, ice jamming, water-level dynamics, emergency situation, field observations.
