The article considers the use of geographic information systems (GIS) for maintaining a water cadastre in Ukraine using the example of Pidborivske Lake on the territory of Bezlyudivska united territorial community, Kharkiv district, Kharkiv region. In the conditions of partial occupation of the region and difficult security conditions, remote methods of studying the components of water management facilities are becoming especially popular. The basis of the study was geodetic surveys, which included point measurements of water levels, topographic survey of islands, as well as echo sounder depth measurements. The use of devices with an automatic compensator made it possible to perform high-quality work even in difficult conditions. QGIS and AutoCAD software were used for data processing and visualization, which made it possible to create detailed drawings with isobaths and conduct a comprehensive assessment of the facility. The proposed methodology contributes to increasing worker safety, optimizing inventory, and forms a reliable basis for the future water cadastre. The results obtained demonstrate the effectiveness of integrating modern geotechnologies into the field of water use and the prospects for further research using remote sensing.
