Abstract
The current state of springs which belongs to natural monuments of regional significance on the territory of the Volokonovskiy district (Belgorod oblast) was considered, special attention is paid to three objects that are included in the group of hydrological - hydrogeological monuments of nature. Extremely uneven distribution of hydrological-geological monuments of nature on the territory of the oblast was determined. During the continuation of monitoring studies, certification of the studied springs, assessment of sanitary and technical condition, recreational and cultic significance was carried out. The differences of springs in their outputs, the karst nature of some of them, and irregular use for recreational purposes have been ascertained. Springs have ceased to be «gushing». The necessity of continuing monitoring of the state of springs and further work on the development of criteria for classifying them as geological monuments of nature, as well as the coordination of the status of such springs at different levels was substantiated.
