Abstract

We present the results of a study in which a local dome-shaped piezometric surface of the Podolskian–Myachkovian aquifer complex was revealed in the western part of the Moscow Region, whose central part coincides with an elongated swampy depression. The results of morphostructural and geological-structural analyses show that the depression may have a tectonic origin. Using the method of mathematical modeling, it is shown that the formation of a groundwater recharge dome is possible only due to the presence of a zone of increased permeability of the Callovian–Kimmeridgian waterproof complex, formed during the development of faults.
