The evaluation of the silting-up of rivers, the catchment areas of which are undergoing an intensive economic development has been done at the regional and sub-continental level which allowed the adaptation of the GIS-analysis techniques for different scale levels. A possibility of assessing the risk of silting-up of rivers by calculating the sediment transport using hydraulic formulas and then comparing the sediment transporting capacity and sediment-production rate has been shown.} }
