ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGES IN THE SULYNSKA BAY OF THE KREMENCHUK RESERVOIR National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine, Kiev, Geroiv Oborony st., 15. Abstract. Changes in environmental state of landscapes in the Sulynska Gulf under anthropogenic pressure are investigated. Fluctuations in Kremenchuk reservoir and economic activity in the Sula river basin recognized as the factors of such pressure. Materials of remote sensing by Landsat and Terra satellites were used to substantiate these findings. Keywords: reservoir, river basin, runoff, water pollution, satellite imagery, environmental state, oil and gas wells Introduction. Environmental state of the Sulynska Bay studying is valid, since it plays a role in biodiversity enhancing of the region, fish farming, etc. It participates in the processes of eutrophication and water pollution around the Kremenchuk reservoir as well. That is why we tried to identify significant processes that affect the formation of the environmental situation in the region. At the same time we took into account the important processes that affect both the quantitative parameters and qualitative characteristics for all water resources of the Sula River basin, of which the state of Sulynska Bay depends largely on. Materials and methods. Researches were carried out mainly in the Sulynska Gulf, on top of which a new delta of the Sula River is forming, and in the river basin and the Kremenchug reservoir aquatorium as well. Materials of this area remote sensing by satellites Landsat 5 and 7, Terra and Aqua, obtained from the archives of
