Abstract

At the present time, drinking groundwater that is reliably protected from contamination should be considered as a priority source of utility and drinking water supply to the population. These waters undoubtedly belong to strategic types of natural resources, since they are essentially the only source of drinking water supply during emergencies, and the possibility of their use significantly affects the national security of the country. The current geopolitical situation around the Russian Federation dictates the need to consider the issue of managing transboundary resources of groundwater in the context of international legislative conventions and treaties in a new format, allocating groundwater to a separate block of strategic resources, the extraction of which occurs in frontier territories. The paper presents the analysis of the groundwater extraction quantitative evoluation at the largest water intake facilities of the Kaliningrad Region located on a transboundary territory using the balance calculation method. The method of balance approach, based on calculations of the so-called intake of water resources from the territory of neighboring state, allows for adjusting the activities of the intakes themselves and their further design taking into account boundary factors when approving maximum level decreases at observation points.
