The article presents a retrospective analysis of implementation of geoinformation programs and parameters their main areas of application in the modern context. The review of the current legal regulatory framework, requirements for Russian geoinformation technologies, geographic information systems (GIS) regulates and their level of openness. Examples of the use of geoinformation technologies are considered within the framework of the activities of social and hygienic monitoring of the Federal Service for Supervision in Protection of the Rights of Consumer and Man Wellbeing. Microbiological control of water quality occupies one of the leading places, as epidemiological surveillance is the main component of a set of preventive measures for the safety of water use by surface water bodies for household and drinking needs, recreation and sports. Similarly, systematic sanitary and bacteriological monitoring of water is carried out in the areas of water intakes and recreational zones of the cities of Azov, Rostov-on-Don, Volgodonsk, Tsimlyansk, whose water supply has been carried out from the Don River and the Tsimlyansk Reservoir over the past fifty years. Studies indicate a high content of pathogenic enterobacteria and sanitary indicator microorganisms in water, conducted as part of the microbiological control of the water of the Lower Don. The data obtained are used mainly within the department or for the exchange of interdepartmental information, and are often limited to reports and scientific publications. The methodological approach to assessing the risk of water-related bacterial intestinal infections is one of the modern ones based on the use of automated geographic information systems tools. In addition, there is a need to optimize the system of information exchange between departments and promptly inform the population about the sanitary condition of the water of the beach areas and recreation areas. Data if visualized on pollution maps using GIS will make the information more visual. However, key problems exist related to the implementation and operation of geographic information systems that will need to be taken into account.
