Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

The presented thematic is application of modern modelling technique for pumped storage power station (PSPS) interaction with sediment. The results are of interest in broader area of both technical as well as environmental issues. 

I have noticed technical issues
1. Fig.2 both caption as well as figure appears on both page 3 as well as 4, please fix this issue.
2. Fig.3 caption appears on both page 3 as well as 4, please fix this issue.
3. Please fix figure captions and numeration, as well as positioning issues in text.

Other than that I do not have any issues concerning scientific soundness of the paper and I do consider the covered subject of the paper as a interesting and of moderate novelty. Those results could be coupled with environmental risk estimate also.

Thank You for the effort in simulation, and please fix the technical issues.

Reviewer 2 Report

- The paper needs to be significantly improved given the writting, preseting results, explaining methodology and quality of figures.

 

I put my comments on the attached pdf file. Please amend them. 

Comments for author File: Comments.pdf

It is NOT satisfactory. The paper must be improved given the English writting.
