Water-Rich Zones in Terrigenous Lithologically Variable Strata

The influence of structural-tectonic, geomorphological and lithological factors on the formation of water-rich zones in lithologically variable strata is considered. Hydrogeological characteristics of water-rich zones are presented. The analysis of the conditions of the water-rich zones development indicates that their formation is associated with neotectonic folded and fractured dislocations. The type of geological section and the geomorphological situation in which this zone is located have a certain influence on the development of water-bearing zones. The most water-rich areas are confined to river valleys and are characterized by a carbonate type of geological section. Hydrogeological indicators are higher in these areas than outside them. The division of water-rich zones according to the spatial position relative to the relief elements is given. The influence of structural-tectonic and geodynamic factors on the areal location of high water saturation zones is considered.
