RESTORING OF THE BASIN STATUS OF SIVERSKY DONETS-ZAPURUKA, SOLUTION OF THE MAIN ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS OF DONBAS

Abstract

On the basis of a comprehensive analysis of physical-geographical, geological, geomorphological, hydrogeological, engineering-geological and hydrological data, an unjustified biased lowering of the basin status of the Siverskyi Donets River to the sub-basin of the Don River was proved. The main hydrological and hydrogeological differences of the Don river basin and the Siverskyi Donets river basin have been clarified. The restoration of the basin status of the Siverskyi Donets River has been substantiated and 17 sub-basins have been identified, including 7 on the left slope and 10 on the right slope of the Siverskyi Donets river, which has a great environmental significance. Balanced and balanced modeling of scenarios of uncontrolled flooding of coal mines and the organization of regional and zonal monitoring of groundwater and surface water in the territory of Kharkiv, Donetsk and Luhansk regions, thanks to the restoration of the basin status of the Siverskyi Donets River, will become more informative and more reliable.
