Development of guidelines on monitoring the state of the water bodies;
Improvement of operational methodology for runoff accounting and forecasting water dischargeand water levels in the Kuban river basin.
Development and testing of hydrological models, using the Polomet river basin as an example, based on the use of complex data obtained by new means of measurement for assessing and forecasting the state of the water bodies.
Development of analytical GIS "hydrology-water quality" using the Neva river basin as an example.
Development and implementation of automated methods of forecasting the timing of appearance of ice, freezing and opening of water reservoirs using the GIS technologies.
