Formation of potable groundwater deposits developed by drainage systems in the mountain-fold urals

Аннотация

The article considers the formation of potable groundwater deposits in an area disturbed by mining. Characteristic cases are used to analyze and systematize the transformation patterns of groundwater chemistry. It is shown that, after the completion of mining activities, the possible use of groundwater is controlled by both natural and mining-operation factors, including the types of minerals, the rehabilitation method applied in the disturbed area, and the water-intake facility design.
