Abstract: Growing demand for fresh water and constant depletion of water resources are among the problems of the 21st century. The issues of increasing the efficiency of using existing reservoirs, restoring damaged ones and building new ones are becoming increasingly urgent. The history of building large reservoirs is only 100 years old. At the same time, most of them have managed to fill with sediment, as a result of which the useful volume of reservoirs has decreased. In the near future, many reservoirs will cease to perform their main functions. On the other hand, over many years of operation, dams and hydraulic structures could lose their safety indicators due to long-term impacts of various external factors. Improving the reservoir monitoring system is one of the most important engineering issues of our time.
