Abstract

The article presents an assessment of the hydroecological state of the elementary watersheds in the river basins of the southwestern part of Belarus (using the Mukhavets, Lesnaya, Pina and Yaselda rivers as an example), using the analysis methodology by evaluating various indicators of environmental protection that contribute to the self-recovery of the territory of elementary watersheds and anthropogenic load factors. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the use of the assessment methodology developed by us on the basis of a matrix of attributive indicators, which allows, taking into account the generalized scoring, to identify categories of lands with different hydroecological situations, to typify the study area according to the prevailing types of anthropogenic impacts and the degree of environmental hazard.
