Studies of the fauna, density and specificity of formation of the blood-sucking Diptera habitats have demonstrated rapid reduction of biotopes and the density of insects in the first years after the construction of the reservoir. In the following years aggravation of the entomological situation was observed, relative stability being attained only by the 20th year of the reservoir' functioning. Further increase in anthropogenic impact may lead to entomologic changes in the area.
