Abstract

The paper presents a method of assessing the directionality of process development in ecosystems of small rivers. The revival of small rivers and the rational use of their water resources is of great importance, because in connection with their number, they are not only the main source of water use, but, first of all, it is one of the most important elements of the geographical environment. When developing a set of measures for the revival of small rivers, it is necessary, first of all, to identify river basins with low resistance to anthropogenic load, and then, based on the analysis of the rationality of the economic use of water, land, and forest resources and the peculiarities of the functioning of river systems, to determine a set of environmental protection measures taking into account the assessment of the direction of the processes in their ecosystems.
