In recent years, increasing of the environmental awareness due to world water pollution has been growing. Integral part is a policy design as key element in water resources management. Paper elucidates the issue of surface water pollution by means of runoff from croplands. The purpose is to develop new design technique to determine the size of water protection zones (WPZs) and to devise the normative document on the WPZs design technique by means of geographic information systems (GIS). All the calculations to be carried out in the project will be accomplished by means of GIS. GIS permit to predict and analyze developing and volume of water erosion in the study area, evaluate surface-water flow, depict catchments area.
