Abstract 

The scientific principles of cartographic modeling of the geoecological conditions of the river-basin systems and their changes under the influence of economic activity and the transformation of climatic conditions have been determined. The main methods of assessing the condition of river systems and their basins have been disclosed. The experience of thematic and complex atlas mapping of the river-basin systems by Ukrainian and foreign scientists has been described. The results of the creation of a digital large-scale interactive geoecological atlas of the river-basin systems Bystrytsia have been presented. Prospective directions for the continuation of geoecological studies of the river-basin systems have been outlined.
