ASSESSMENT OF THE QUALITY OF UNDERGROUND AND SURFACE WATERS OF THE VERKHNEKAMSKINDUSTRIAL DISTRICT

Abstract

The article considers the influence of the Verkhnekamsk industrial district on surface and groundwater. The main pollutants entering the rivers - potassium, calcium, magnesium, sodium, chlorides, aliphatic amines, lead to changes in the water and hydrochemical regime. The research provides information on the micro-component composition of potash waste. The critical level of mineralization in small rivers contributes to an increase in groundwater pollution. The degree of contamination was assessed for 14 rivers of the territory of the Uralkali mine fields for 2000, 2011 and 2013. The result of the analysis of UKIZV more than half belong to the class of "extremely dirty" and "very polluted". The main polluting ingredients are sodium and potassium chlorides. In conclusion, the problems of problem solving are proposed.
