morphometric characteristics

The article is aimed at conducting the engineering-construction assessment of Irpin town of Kyiv region. It is based on the engineering-geological zoning of the settlement, which provides the allocation of different-level taxonomic units with a set of natural and anthropogenic factors of construction conditions from the largest unit (engineering-geological region) to the smallest (sites and subsites). Engineering and geological surveying and mapping became the main research methods.

Aim of the work. To develop a method of automated allocation of catchment basins and obtaining their hydrological and morphometric characteristics, which is based on digital terrain models. Methods and results of work. A necessary condition for the correct filling of the terrain is the presence of points of true flow at the edge of the settlement area (if the river flows into the lake, it should not enter the calculated area completely, otherwise incorrect results will be obtained).
