This article deals with the issue of diagnostics of the physical condition of earthen dams, taking into account seasonal changes in the water level of hydraulic structures using electrical exploration methods. The simplicity of the method, the accuracy of measurements of geophysical parameters, and the availability of software packages for the processing, interpretation, and visualization were the basis for the choice of method. The method of electrical resistivity and self-potential was chosen. The methodology, technique, technology of field surveys, processing, and geological interpretation of the study results are given. A comparative analysis of the obtained geophysical parameters of seasonal measurements is given. The research results are given in the form of sections of the resistivity model and self-potential isolines.
