The differences in the hydrogeological structure of the basins, the features of recharge / discharge caused them to be divided into areas that are characterized by features in the chemical composition and quality of groundwater. This study describes the factors affecting the formation of groundwater, the geological and hydrogeological, and also hydrodynamic features of intermountain artesian basins. The main pattem of groundwater flows is characterized and the conceptual models of groundwater systems are presented. The chemical composition of their constituent aquifers is characterized. The obtained results provide a scientific basis for rational planning of social-economic management in the water-limited regions.","PeriodicalId":253271,"journal":{"name":"Moscow University Bulletin.

Parameters of the model of transmissivity heterogeneity of the simulated aquifer are obtained from the data of experimental tests carried out within the limits of the South Voronezhskoye groundwater field. The simulation has shown that the average results of interpretation of these cluster pumping data correspond to the geometric value of the transmissivity, which confirms the previously obtained approximate theoretical result for the model of small-scale heterogeneity and extends it to an almost important case of similarity of cluster well test planar sizes and spatial scale of heterogeneity. Thus, the present study has confirmed the possibility to apply standard methods in processing of cluster pumping data under planned heterogeneity conditions to estimate the equivalent aquifer transmissivity in the well cluster location area.","PeriodicalId":253271,"journal":{"name":"Moscow University Bulletin.

Elementary formation cyclites and cyclic variations of a number of certain parameters were associated with the Milankovich astronomical-climatic cycles. The curves of changes of paleotemperature, humidity, paleobathymetry were compiled. The results obtained give an idea of the migration of the arid belt boundaries in the upper Cretaceous and the overall climatic zonation, which is important for regional and global paleoclimatic reconstructions, as well as the history of the development of shelf seas that covered the Russian plate (especially Ulyanovsk-Saratov trough). Paleotemperatures of the land surface in the denudation areas are obtained from the chemical index of alteration (CIA). In the Turonian-Campanian interval selected climatic cyclicity, including period of relative cooling (Turonian–Coniacian) with paleotemperature about 20 °С, the period of relative warming in the mid-late Campanian (20–24 °С), the cooling time at the end of the late Campanian (19–21 °С) and the period of warming at the turn of the Campanian and Maastrichtian and in the early Maastrichtian time. In Maastrichtian age, there are two climatic cycles, beginning with a time of relative cooling (about 19 °С) and ending with a time of relative warming (about 20 С, at the end of Maastrichtian to 25 °С). The cycles of climate humidity change are also determined: two cycles in Campanian time, three cycles in early Maastrichtian, and one cycle in late Maastrichtian. The boundary of the early and late Maastrichtian corresponds to the change of arid conditions to humid ones. The paleobatimetry curves show transgressive-regressive cycles: one in the late Turonian-Coniacian time, two in the late Campanian time, five in the early Maastrichtian time, and one in the late Maastrichtian time. Depth variations were estimated: in the Turonian-Coniacian time in the range of 70–80 m, in the Campanian-Maastrichtian time, the paleobatimetry consistently increased and changed from 100 to 200 m (on average about 150 m). The results obtaired give and idea of the migration of the boundaries of the arid belt in the Late Creataceous and main features of the climatic zonation, which is important for regional and global paleoclimatic reconstructions, as well as for the history of the development the Russian plate in the Ulyanovsk-Saratov region.","PeriodicalId":253271,"journal":{"name":"Moscow University Bulletin.
