Abstract
Changes in groundwater quality are effected by a whole complex of natural and anthropogenic factors. Geological-hydrogeological conditions of the area, groundwater abstraction and pollution are the most significant among them. Groundwater pollution affects groundwater quality (its physical, chemical, and biological properties) making it partially or completely unusable. The extent of groundwater pollution is expressed by comparing concentrations of various dissolved components with the values of their highest permissible concentrations.
