This analysis demonstrates the effects of flood protection measures on floodplain dynamics in Yakutsk, revealing significant environmental changes.

Flood protection measures have reduced flooding width by 15-30%, impacting local ecosystems.
Central floodplain areas have seen a 2-3 times decrease in flooding probability, leading to ecological degradation.
Four distinct types of basins have formed, reflecting variations in flood control impacts and water balance.
Further development of the floodplain requires both water protection and environmental safeguarding measures.

Zavadsky et al. (2025) studied this question.
