Abstract

With the intensive development of industry and population growth, environmental protection and the correct use of natural resources are of great importance. For a proper assessment, monitoring and management of the environmental situation, it is necessary to possess cartographic, environmental and other information about all its components, analyze this information and make the right decisions. There are various ways to solve this problem. The article provides a brief description of the method that we applied to assess the ecological state in one of the sections of the Mtkvari (Kura), in particular, the content of heavy metals in the waters of the Mtkvari (Kura) River in the Zagesi – Red Bridge section. The degree of anthropogenic impact was assessed by methods of mathematical modeling and modern technologies of the geographic information system. In the mathematical processing of information, a whole range of mathematical modeling tools were used - starting with mathematical statistics and ending with a complex model. The main functions of the geographic information system were also used: information organization, its processing, analysis, verification, visualization, and etc. As a result, thematic maps were created, that clearly show the degree of pollution of the river section, as well as the dynamics of changes in the concentration of heavy metals. This method can be used for environmental assessment of various objects. With its help, it is possible to carry out environmental monitoring simply and at low cost.
