The Protection Conditions of the Groundwater Against Pollution in the Kaliningrad Region

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Part of the book series: The Handbook of Environmental Chemistry ((HEC,volume 65))

Abstract

The chapter lists the results of the assessment of groundwater protection against pollution studying the case of the upper intermoraine aquifer. The work is based on extensive factual material. Among the main criteria of protection from pollution, the study considers power, lithological composition, and permeability of rocks composing the upper waterproof and the correlation of the level of pressure and groundwater. An attempt to quantify assessment of groundwaters protection is taken. The research defined the regularities of the spatial differentiation of the protection conditions of the Moscow-Valdai aquifer in the Kaliningrad Region and isolated areas characterized by varying degrees of protection of the upper intermoraine aquifer. The article will define the areas of potential water-use conflicts in the oil-extraction areas and in the areas of construction materials excavations.
