Abstract

The results of long-term environmental monitoring of small rivers in a health resort region are given. The characteristic of surface water and groundwater of health resorts of Caucasian Mineral Waters is discussed; the extent and character of their pollution are assessed. The causes of water pollution by heavy metal compounds, oil products, and nitrogen-containing compounds are analyzed. Data on the mineral water from several production wells failing to meet the requirements of GOST R 54 316-2011 are given. The main factors that have an effect on water resources pollution in the region are identified. The hydrogeodynamic and hydrogeochemical operation regimes of the Kislovodsk Deposit are analyzed, and recommendations for improving the quality of the main spring of the Narzan deposit are given.
