До питання експертної оцінки пошуків підземних вод в Кіровоградської області

The results of expert assessment of electrical exploration in the Kirovograd oblast are considered, taking into account the compiled large-scale gravimetric maps. The results of groundwater searches in the fractured zone of crystalline rocks of the Archean-Proterozoic were reinterpreted. Using gravity exploration data significantly increases the efficiency of isolation and localization of water-saturated rocks and reduces economic costs in the search for groundwater. The proposed complex of geophysical works can be used as an improved method for searching for potable groundwater in territories determined both by the peculiarities of the geological structure of the Ukrainian Shield and by technogenic factors (residential and industrial communication networks and other anthropogenic components). The regularities are recommended to be taken into account in the process of searching and exploring groundwater for economic and household use.
