Hydrogeological conditions of potable water supply the Kuznetsk Coal Basin, Russia

The article deals with hydrogeological conditions of the groundwater resources in the western part of the Kuznetsk depression, a coal and ore mining region. On the basis of a scheme of hydrogeological boundary conditions, a numerical geologic filtration model is developed for calculation of groundwater resources in the study area. The hydrologic budget of the numerical model is evaluated for assessment of infiltration recharge of groundwater resources
