Abstract
On the Kremenchuk reservoir there is a constant destruction of the coasts, with the movement of the coastline to land. In connection with, it is necessary to correct the position of the coastal protective zone, which is installed on the shores of reservoirs, and to monitor agricultural activities on the coast of the reservoir. An effective monitoring instrument is the interactive Google Earth Pro maps, provided with GPS navigation, scale and the function of building hypsometry on paved routes. The study reveals methodical approaches for determining the steepness of the reservoir coast and the boundaries of the coastal protective zone based on Google Earth images. In particular, specific monitoring data were established for an agricultural plot on the northern outskirts of the village Stetsivka Chyhyryn territorial community of Cherkasy district. The application of the doubled width of the coastal protective zone in this part of the reservoir is substantiated. The average slope of the coast on the route of the study is: within the coastal protective zone in width 100 m – 10.7% or 6.11 degrees; within the coastal protective zone in width 200 m – 8.7% or 4.97 degrees. The limited regime of economic activity is subject to a strip of problematic agricultural plot in a width of 52 m.
