Abstract
Blast waves produced by the burst of high explosives (HE) can be very damaging to both people and property. To reduce such
damage energy - absorbing systems are needed. Water may be used to reduce blast waves parameters. The selection of effective
blast reduction method when detonating explosives is presented on the base of the blast overpressure and impulse level measurements
when HE charges surrounded by and in direct contact (or through gaseous gap) with volumes of water were detonated.
