Abstract
The results of investigations of the erosion of concrete walls of the Kruonis hydroaccumulation electrical power plant dam (Lithuania) using seismic tomography and surface waves are considered. A layered structure of near-surface concrete layer of the dam retaining wall was identified. Zones of the concrete surface, mostly subject to erosion at the contact with water, are outlined by low velocity anomalies. A zone of water leakage from the upper power plant reservoir is localised and its spatial boundaries are determined.
