Abstract

The Shu-Talas transboundary water basin plays a key role in providing water resources for agricultural production, industry and the population of the border regions of Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. In the context of worsening climate change, more frequent droughts and uneven distribution of water flows, the pressure on water resources is increasing, which requires the introduction of modern management methods. One of the most promising areas is the use of digital technologies, which can improve the accuracy, efficiency and transparency of water monitoring. The article discusses advanced digital tools, including geographic information systems (GIS) and digital water balance modeling. Particular attention is paid to the practices of GIS mapping of runoff distribution, which allows for a visual assessment of spatiotemporal changes in the basin, as well as forecasting models and scenario analysis. The problems of openness and consistency of water data between countries, which limit the potential of digital transformation in cross-border management, are analyzed separately. Proposals for the creation of a unified digital platform and the harmonization of monitoring standards have been presented. The aim of the study is to substantiate the need for comprehensive digitalization of water management as a basis for sustainable water use and effective transboundary cooperation in the Shu and Talas River basins.
