GIS technologies for assessing hydroecological state of rivers in the Aral sea basin

Abstract

This article analyzes the results of a study on the difficulties and possibilities of using information technology to support the adoption of novel approaches in hydroecology and hydropower. Additionally, it examines the advancement of geographic information systems (GIS) for hydroecological and hydro-technical monitoring and their utilization as educational tools for students. Researching the utilization of information systems to develop environmentally friendly approaches for managing hydraulic infrastructure. The paper centred on the present subject of developing GIS systems for hydro-ecological monitoring, which are valuable tools for improving the information systems of the Aral Sea basin. Furthermore, it assists in optimizing models to create ecologically sustainable approaches for utilizing hydrotechnical constructions. Utilizing the amalgamation of findings from many scientific studies inside a single GIS database may be both feasible and advantageous, serving as a versatile instrument for modeling. An illustration of this methodology may be seen as a unified system where the amalgamation yields outcomes: the water-salt balancing system across all rivers in Uzbekistan. The digital mapping system and schemes are used to build ecologically sustainable methods for operating hydraulic and hydroelectric plants in Uzbekistan. The Aral Sea basin monitoring system (ASBMS) is a computerized system that uses ArcView to monitor the hydroecological quality of surface waters in the Aral Sea basin. Keywords: ecological situation, hydroecology, hydroecological maps, GIS technology, Aral Sea basin.
