Abstract: The article defines the morphometric, hydrochemical, and hydrobiological parameters of the Ust-Kamenogorsk reservoir, located on the territory of Ablaketka and the Bukhtarma reservoir, formed in the zone of narrowing of the mountain valley (1960), 12 km below the confluence of the Bukhtarma River with the Irtysh River. When determining deviations in indicators of the reservoirs, data from gauging stations have been taken into account. The purpose of the article is to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the current state of two large reservoirs in the East Kazakhstan region during the specified time period. The novelty of this topic lies in its comprehensive approach to assessing various aspects of the reservoirs’ condition in a specific region over a defined period. This approach enables the identification of current trends and issues and facilitates the proposal of practical measures to address them and enhance water resource management. As a result of this research work, after analyzing changes in indicators, the condition of the reservoirs was determined. During the research work, according to the results of hydrochemical studies, the Bukhtarma reservoir is favorable for the habitat of aquatic organisms, and in the Ust-Kamenogorsk reservoir, a positive change in hydrochemical parameters has been noted compared with 2020. In addition, after analyzing the research indicators, it was proposed to form specially protected areas in the Bukhtarma reservoir, suitable for use in connection with the distribution of valuable fish listed in the Red Book of the Republic of Kazakhstan. When demonstrating the location of gauging stations, methods of remote sensing of the earth and the method of geoinformation mapping were used.
