The issue of the feasibility of using existing statistical and hydrological methods for short-term and early forecasting in the framework of forecasting the levels of water rise in water bodies is considered: a comparative review is given, which describes their advantages and disadvantages. In the course of analyzing the shortcomings of these methods, the problem of operational and early (advance) forecasting of water rise levels was identified. To solve this problem, a decision support system is proposed for predicting the water rise levels in advance, based on a neural network (intelligent) analysis of retrospective data (date, water level, air temperature, atmospheric pressure and wind speed) to calculate the water level values for 5 days in advance. The artificial neural network itself is based on the freely distributed library of machine learning programs "TensorFlow", and a modified backpropagation method is used as training, the main difference of which is an increase in the learning rate of an artificial neural network. The results of the analysis of the effectiveness showed that the proposed decision support system is more accurate (the error between the real and calculated values does not exceed 2.10 %), compared to existing common methods/systems (8.36 %). This will allow to give the necessary time to special services for the implementation of flood control measures to prepare for the protection of technical facilities of enterprises.
