The hydro-chemical condition of ground water at the East-Ciscaucasia artesian basin (within the republic of Dagestan)
Problems of unsustainable utilization of Dagestan ground water, its contamination with various chemical matters are studied. It is noted that the long-term spontaneous and immethodical usage of the East- Ciscaucasia artesian basin in running totals has led to reserve depletion and ground water composition degradation. This state requires taking immediate measures on protection of reserve and existing groundwater sources as well as on their methodical usage.
