Abstract:
Kazakhstan has been facing a significant reduction in its renewable freshwater resources
due to various anthropogenic factors (climate change, agricultural practices,
industrialization, urbanization). The reduction of renewable freshwater has led to water
scarcity, desertification, health impacts, economic impacts. The relevance of the subject
matter is determined by the importance of remote sensing of water bodies of the Republic
of Kazakhstan using modern methods of satellite biometrics to form objective ideas about
the real state of the country's water resources. The purpose of this paper is to study the
currently existing effective methods for recognising the physical characteristics of water
bodies of the Republic of Kazakhstan using remote sensing. The methodology of this
research work is based on a combination of methods of system analysis of the possibilities
of remote sensing of water bodies using satellite bathymetry with an analytical study of
methods for recognising the physical characteristics of water bodies of the Republic of
Kazakhstan by remote sensing. The results obtained during this research indicate the high
accuracy of the remote sensing method using satellite bathymetry and the feasibility of its
practical application in the future for the successful solution of similar problems.
