Modelling the Water Regime of the Seret River Under Climate Change Conditions

The paper proposes an algorithmic model for hydroecological research of the Seret River; considers the main hydrometric characteristics of the river; analyses climatic changes that affect the components of the water balance of the territory. An important aspect of the work is the collection and processing of the results of monitoring observations from the largest hydrological station in Chortkiv for 2015-2023. Graphical modelling and mathematical calculations have proven that the Seret River is becoming shallower, which in turn has led to a decrease in the self-cleaning potential of the watercourse. At the same time, heavy rainfall causes dangerous floods. The main regulatory and legal acts in force in the field of water use, protection and restoration of water resources are analysed. Management measures to reduce the negative impact of climate change in the Seret River basin are justified.
