Abstract

Currently, open databases (DB) of potential sources of water pollution of small water bodies located in the territories of the anthropogenically affected Altai Krai and the Republic of Altai are not available. Therefore, we have implemented the inventory works in order to identify and systematize such sources; developed a conceptual scheme of the cartographic GIS database and the geodatabase structure; completed the database filling, and prepared GIS projects based on modern GIS technologies. The proposed new methodological approach to collection and generalization of spatial information within the boundaries of water management sites and model basins makes it possible to perform a comparative cartographic analysis of anthropogenic loads (including direct and indirect impacts) on water bodies, to reveal most problem sites for their further detailed study and to develop recommendations for land use optimization.
