ABSTRACT The use of Geographic Information System (GIS) models for water quantity and quality modelling is indispensable for the determination of impacts of land‐use or climate changes that are expected to take place. Southern Ukraine today suffers from severe droughts, floods and soil salinisation. It is therefore of utmost importance to use the available water resources optimally and to avoid loads from coastal waters. The paper reports the results of studies that were carried out in three pil
