CREATION OF A UNIFIED DIGITAL SPATIALLY COORDINATED HYDROLOGICAL DATABASE FOR THE WEST KAZAKHSTAN REGION

Abstract

The article presents the results of the formation of a unified digital spatially coordinated hydrological database of the West Kazakhstan region. This work is an important step in the development of the region's water resources management system and is aimed at creating an effective tool for making informed decisions in the water sector. The work includes the analysis and generalization of hydrometeorological data and materials on water bodies, hydraulic structures, as well as the development of the digital platform "Water bodies and water management infrastructure of the West Kazakhstan region", which provides data storage, processing and visualization for integrated water resources management. The proposed database contains information on 192 hydrological posts, 50 meteorological stations, 3176 rivers, 1124 lakes and various hydraulic structures in the region. All objects are spatially linked and are accompanied by detailed attribute data. The developed digital platform is a modern open source client-server software based on the Linux operating system. The platform provides users with an intuitive interface for working with data on water and water management facilities, which greatly simplifies the process of managing the region's water resources.
