Thawing and freezing processes are developed subsequently with filling of constructed- in-permafrost underground reservoirs with water. The paper proposes an approximate method to assess these processes with instant filling of reservoirs with water. This method is based on experimentally found mechanism of water cooling in underground reservoirs. Calculation results are given showing effects on the reservoir radius during thaw/freeze cycles, on water and soil temperature as well as on water storage duration.
