Abstract
The Role of Subaquatic Springs in the Formation of Flow, Temperature and Chemical Composition of River Water in the Reserve
Highlights
Discharge of underground karst water is often in the form of underwater springs from the bottoms of rivers, lakes and seas [Maksimovich, 1961, Wirth et al, 2020; Cantú Medina et al, 2021]
Six zones of karst groundwater discharge and their influence on the water regime of the Vishera river were studied in detail
A total of 5 large subaquatic karst springs were described during the works, which are discharged into the Vishera river channel (Spring 2V–6V)
Summary
Discharge of underground karst water is often in the form of underwater springs from the bottoms of rivers, lakes and seas [Maksimovich, 1961, Wirth et al, 2020; Cantú Medina et al, 2021]. Industrial and agricultural areas, subaquatic discharge can lead to hidden pollution of rivers and lakes [Vaganov, 2017; Xilong et al, 2021; Stevanović et al, 2022]. This can significantly affect both the surface water bodies themselves and the state of the biotic components of the environment [Tamborski et al, 2020; Schubert et al, 2014]. The mouths of subaquatic springs are under water for most or all of the year and are hidden from the eyes of observers by the water column In this regard, the search and study of subaquatic groundwater sources is a complex task requiring the use of both conventional and special research methods [Naoura et al, 2021; Stevanović, 2019; Savatier et al, 2021]. As an example of the influence of subaquatic karst water discharge on the flow and composition of river water, this article examined the results of research conducted by Permian University staff in the territory of the Vischersky Reserve (Western Urals)
