Abstract

The paper focuses on the possibilities of using the technology of geographic information systems (GIS-technologies) and data on the Earth remote sensing to determine the morphometric parameters of the river basin on the example of the upper part of the Charysh River (Russia). The authors conclude that a river basin is a holistic natural complex in which all physical parameters are interdependent and have specific features for each basin. Geographic information methods are used to study hydrological objects and in the modeling of drainage basins as natural compound complexes. In combination with GIS technologies, remote sensing methods are convenient for deciphering and assessing the hydrological situation of territories. For the upper part of the Charysh River basin, a complex of morphometric calculations was performed. Based on DEM and satellite images, thematic layers for GIS were built, and the thematic layers were designed as maps.
