For the last decades in the Republic of Belarus, there is a tendency of decreasing river flow, but at the same time the probability of flood is increasing. Majority of all hydraulic engineering structures on the territory of the Republic of Belarus is projected for a pressure up to 15 m. Risk of an accident at the hydraulic unit appears due to insufficiently substantiated methodology for calculation of hydraulic engineering structures at the stage of design, unsatisfactory level of their maintenance, absence or understaffing of operational personnel. A danger increases significantly when reservoirs are located in cascades. A hydraulic system in Merkulovichi, Chechersk district, Gomel region can serve as an example of such water reservoir and uncoordinated activity of the operating personnel. While operating the hydraulic unit an overflow occurred through a crest of an earth dam during a rain flood and due to this there was a partial destruction of the dam body. The paper considers problems concerning prediction of such situations. The paper proposes a simplified methodology for calculating changes in water level for two reservoirs during flood discharge and this methodology is based on a joint solution of differential equations of water balances in reservoirs without taking into account unsteady movement along their length. It has been assumed that at the entrance to an upper reservoir discharge change in time corresponds to flood hydrograph, and the change in time at the entrance of a lower reservoir and at its exit corresponds to discharge hydrographs in accordance with such schedules for control of spillway water gates for the first and second reservoirs in order to prevent overflow through dams (dam) of the reservoirs. While using this methodology an example for prediction calculation of levels in Merkulovichi channel reservoir and a lower pond has been considered with their cascading location and in the case of flood discharge.
