Abstract
Reduction of the lake’s water area, shallowing, overgrowing and transformation of the lake into a swamp is a natural process stretched over time (thousands of years). Satellite images and Earth remote sensing are used to monitor the state of lake systems. Satellite images were used for virtual reconnaissance of the lakes of the Volyn region for preliminary identification of changes in the water area of the lakes and the coastal territory, followed by in-depth research by expeditionary route. Studies carried out on the territory of Volyn show that many lakes in the region are characterized by a general tendency towards a more intense decrease in morphometric parameters (decrease in the area of the water surface by 30–46% over 90 years), which is associated with anthropogenic impact (primarily with drainage reclamation).
