The monitoring of hydraulic structures as high-risk facilities is discussed. Monitoring should ensure the reliability and functioning of a hydraulic structure during the entire period of operation. Particular attention should be paid to the monitoring of the settlements of a hydraulic structure, which are one of the main causes of accidents that can lead to the loss of the function of the structure or, in some cases, to total collapse. Various monitoring systems for hydraulic structures are compared. It is noted that automated hydrostatic leveling systems have widely been used all over the world. They are characterized by high performance and allow obtaining monitoring data in real time. The experience of using the home-made Monitron automated hydrostatic-leveling system is considered as an example. The system showed efficiency and reliability in monitoring the settlement of various engineering structures.
