Natural conditions of the Left-Bank Ukraine make it possible to develop the water objects of ecological, recreation and sport tourism. It has been noted that in the northern part of the investigated region the rivers belong to the Polissia type. In Donetsk high land rivers have a mountain character, the rest belong to the rivers running through separate valleys. It has been emphasized that the characteristics of the rivers and their banks as recreation and tourism objects change according to the natural conditions of the territories. Based on the above-mentioned typology the territory of the Left-Bank Ukraine is zoned according to the potential for the development of water ecotourism. Three water-touristic regions were determined on its territory: Polissia, field area, and Donetsk area.

The structure optimization in the river tourist recreation systems aimed at using resources potential of water objects and maximum meet of the needs of vacationers could be based on the development of the network of water itineraries and creating conditions to spread active forms of water recreation.
