Creation of a cartographic geoinformation system of the river basin with plotted riverbed quarries

Abstract

Information and geoinformation technologies can be widely used on inland waterways and water transport facilities. Solving problems related to monitoring the state of water quality, its changes as a result of anthropogenic impact, forecasting the quality of water resources, analyzing water consumption and wastewater disposal – this is not the whole list of opportunities that open up to the user when creating a cartographic basis for the geoinformation system of a river basin. Mathematical and cartographic modeling of content and conventional signs is the basis of the method for creating electronic maps. Basin maps of large and small rivers represent models of the studied objects and intermediate links between the objects and the researcher. Information about the situation in the river basin is constantly changing. Electronic maps have an indisputable advantage over paper ones in their ability to transmit this information in real time, constantly making any changes that occur in the study area. Various analytical operations can be performed with information that is entered into the GIS and applied to an electronic map of the river basin. The possibilities of GIS technologies in creating a cartographic basis for the river catchment area will affect the ability to transfer the assessment and management system of water resources and water quality to a more modern and high-quality information level, taking into account the real capabilities of the current control system in the field of environmental management.
