In the conditions of space probing of the territory of water basins by means of drones the labor-intensive ground research is completely excluded, and at the same time, there is a unification of an estimation of a condition of subsystems and acceptance of compensation decisions. The structural scheme of research includes the following components: series-type A, morphometry of the basin and channel - type B and the quality of the aquatic environment (B); production characteristics of subsystems - type G; sociodemographic situation (D); economy (E); cluster analysis by blocks (K). Success in work is provided by the bank of own data and previous scientific researches (cartographic, hydrochemical, landscape, hydrological, ecological, economic) domestic and foreign scientists in the presence of reference data of the last years (1960-1970). In the study of large areas of water bodies (overgrowth of higher aquatic vegetation, the limits of "blooming" of water due to microalgae, the limits of pollution by petroleum products), the use of aerospace sounding by drones is unalterable. The use of unification of the generalization of environmental research, taking into account their mass, requires further methodological developments. The evaluation is carried out at three levels. The availability of economic calculations is the final and target stage in achieving the areas of rehabilitation of water basins and nature management
