The possibilities to compensate the informational deficit by modelling and using GIS technologies in forest hydrological investigations are evaluated. The urgency of this problem in the mountainous regions is due to substantial spatial differentiation of weather and climate conditions, sparse network of meteorological stations and limited possibilities of distant methods. Methodological aspects of the development of geoinformation systems and the experience of realizing the proposed approach for a specific GIS as an example, with the description of its structure and organization principles, are considered in terms of the formulated problem.
