Abstract
The article focuses on the features of the formation of artesian basins of intermountain type. The conditions of formation of groundwater of Heihe artesian intermountain basin, located in the arid region of North-Western China, and water resources of the Tien Shan within Kyrgyzstan are considered. The differences in the hydrogeological structure of the basins, the features of recharge / discharge caused them to be divided into areas that are characterized by features in the chemical composition and quality of groundwater. This study describes the factors affecting the formation of groundwater, the geological and hydrogeological, and also hydrodynamic features of intermountain artesian basins. The main pattem of groundwater flows is characterized and the conceptual models of groundwater systems are presented. The chemical composition of their constituent aquifers is characterized. The obtained results provide a scientific basis for rational planning of social-economic management in the water-limited regions.
