 abstract={The purpose of this study is to solve the efficiency and reliability problems of upstream water intake structures for energy and irrigation systems in the region of the Republic of Azerbaijan. Among the methods used in the study, experimental, analytical, and modelling methods should be distinguished. During the study, analyses and field investigations of main structures, and energy and irrigation systems in the foothills were conducted to identify the reasons for the low efficiency and reliability of existing old water intake structures and reduce their negative impact on the environment. The results of the study showed that many water intake structures built on small rivers are not only in poor working condition but also do not meet modern environmental requirements. Many of these structures were built more than thirty years ago and have not been modernized or reconstructed in accordance with new technologies and requirements. As a result of the study, recommendations were prepared for the design of new water intake structures that meet all modern environmental requirements and guarantee the more efficient use of water resources. These new facilities will also help to reduce water losses during the overflow process, which will make the use of water more cost-effective. Additionally, one of the main outcomes is the developed useful model, which pertains to the field of hydroengineering construction for water intake from mountain and foothill rivers, serving as an additional barrier to reduce the influx of large sediment into the reservoir.},
