Popis: A prototype of an expert system for decision-making support in optimizing measures aimed to protect pilot water objects from diffuse pollution in the Volga basin was developed based on special expedition studies carried out in 2018–2019, generalized results of earlier long-term studies, improved methodological approaches, and specially developed GIS. The prototype consists of fine interrelated blocks, which can be used to evaluate the anthropogenic load from different types of pollution sources (point and diffuse) and the parameters that characterize this pollution, and describe the methods and results of diffuse runoff calculation as well as possible water protection measures, and their efficiency. The prototype of the expert system allows the users (decision makers) to evaluate the extent of diffuse pollution and to choose the priority measures to reduce its effect on pilot water objects.
