THE MONITORING SYSTEM OF GROUND WATERS OF THE ALTAI REPUBLIC. FORMATION, PROBLEMS, RESULTS
Mosaic of natural conditions associated with the hollows and valleys of large rivers of the Altai Republic (AR). Its characteristic feature is the irregularity in the provision of water of potable quality. It is therefore necessary to use groundwater to supply the population with water of high quality. These factors determine the actuality of forming a system of monitoring the quality of ground water and other indicators of it state. The mapping points of observation of the level and composition of the groundwater reveals its irregularity distribution on the territory of the AR. However, geographical and social conditions can optimize the monitoring scheme. In this paper reduced the results of groundwater monitoring in the Altai Republic: scheme of the observation network, composed by V.V. Roldugin, argumentation of the reasons for its optimization, sites of continuous and periodic monitoring are defined.
