Abstract

The most significant natural resources include fresh water, which not only represents an independent value for the state as the most important source of life support but is also a sensitive indicator for assessing the well-being of the entire environment. In recent years, the basin concept of nature management has become increasingly widespread, allowing us to consider the system "catchment area - river - receiving water body" as a single whole since the ecological state of water directly depends on the phenomena and processes occurring in the catchment area. A special place among the software for mathematical water use models is occupied by geoinformation systems that provide systematization of collection, storage, and transformation of information to obtain new data and knowledge about spatio-temporal phenomena and processes in river geosystems. This article considers the water resources of Kyrgyzstan and the distribution of water resources by regions, as well as issues of filling river geosystems with a database collected on the example of the Josholu River and determining the composition of water through laboratory studies.
