Basic Environmental–Hydrogeological Studies in the Territory of European Russia Affected by Chernobyl Accident

Resumo

A procedure for assessing the protection of groundwater against pollution is considered. This is a basic procedure for tentative forecast estimates of changes in the ecological–hydrogeological conditions in the territory of Kaluga oblast polluted by Chernobyl radionuclides. It has been used as the basis for the development of a new procedure for assessing the protection of confined groundwater against pollution and for unification of its application to solving various ecological problems.
