Abstract

Underground mineral water is widely used in balneology and food industry. Known deposits are usually away from the consumer, which negatively affects their accessibility. A certain combination of climatic conditions, hydrology, tectonics and groundwater hydrology in some region makes it possible for injection-type mineral water deposits to form in the areas free of their outer indicators. Required data may be obtained from available literary sources, which significantly expands the areas for the search of deposits in close proximity to potential consumers. Injection-type deposits feature very complex structure, which is why their exploration and operation have its specifics. These aspects have been addressed on a particular example. The research objective is to study the factors that enable the formation of injection-type mineral water deposits in the first place and factors that affect changes of groundwater chemical composition in the course of water exploitation in the second place. The article offers a quite detailed overview of data on the climate, hydrology, tectonics, geology and groundwater hydrology of the region. Data analysis allows us to conclude on a possibility in principle of the formation of injection-type deposits in the study area. Field geophysical, drilling and hydrogeological surveys were used to develop quite a detailed deposit model in the chosen area and to show the mechanism of formation of groundwater chemical composition.
