The monitoring work was realized on May, 2026 in the areas of the Shin river by the employee of the Ecological geography department of Sheki Regional Scientific Center of ANAS Elvin Garayev.

During the research, the dynamics of water level changes in the section of the river passing through  Bash Goynuk village, the measuring indicators placed on the supporting parts of the bridge connecting the village with the surrounding settlements, as well as the geomorphological condition of the river bed were evaluated.

According to the head of the department of Ecological geography, PhD in geography, Gafgaz Agabalayev, the water level in the river has increased significantly due to the intensive precipitation observed recently. At the same time, the volume of sediments, especially sediment cones, collected in the bed, transported by the river flow, has increased significantly.

He noted that during the monitoring, it was determined that the large sediment cones formed as a result of a strong flood event in 2023 on the left bank of the river have retained their previous state. However, certain morphodynamic changes were recorded in the bed areas located in the middle part of the river and on the right bank.

Gafgaz Agabalayev stated that intensive washing processes continue in those areas and in some parts washing to a depth of more than 2 meters has been recorded.

He also noted that it was observed that the previously placed measuring indicators on the bridge's support sections were completely hidden under the sedimentation materials and became invisible. According to him, this indicates that the sedimentation cones collected in the riverbed are more than 2-3 meters thick in some parts.

Gafgaz Agabalayev also noted that, taking into account the dynamic nature of flood events on the Shin River, measuring indicators were re-placed on the bridge's support sections for the purpose of conducting future research and field expeditions.
