In the modern world, in order to solve the problems of sustainable use of lakes, their classification is of particular importance. There are various single-parameter and multi-parameter classifications of lakes. Multi-parameter typification methods are rare and can be classified as universal, capable of solving complex problems of lake nature management at different levels. This work is devoted to the study of the problems of typification of lakes on the example of the Republic of Abkhazia. The paper reveals the potential of the Universal Limno-Ecological Classification (ULEС), developed by the authors and taking into account all the main components of the lake system, which makes it possible to describe the type of lake in the form of a single formula suitable for solving problems of lake nature management at different levels.
