Hydraulic engineering constructions or dams are necessary constructive elements for river development. In severe climatic conditions (deep-frozen soil, low temperatures, high amplitudes of temperature fluctuations) the most expedient type of water retaining constructions are soil dams. In our paper we have examined economic conditions of the region with severe climate, available water resources and their development. We made the conclusions concerning preference for building reservoirs on the territory of Siberia. A two-century period, beginning with the first soil dams in the end of the 18th century, was considered for the building analysis. Our attention has been mainly focused on structures, engineering decisions and causes of accidents, which took place in operating cycle period. The results showed the importance of investigation of filtration and temperature regimes, as well as their collaboration in hydro technical structures design and operation.
