Abstract

Hydrogeological information for the territories of the Republic of Estonia, Leningrad province, and northern Pskov province of the Russian Federation is generalized. A unified groundwater flow model was developed for the Lomonosov-Voronkovskii aquifer, including its Estonian part is developed. The methodological approaches for solving transboundary problems as applied to groundwater are determined. The results of studying transboundary hydrodynamic interaction in Lomonosov-Voronkovskii aquifer in the Russian-Estonian boundary area are given. The direction of undisturbed groundwater flow is determined, and changes caused by the exploitation of the aquifer are assessed.
