SPATIAL EVALUATION BY MEANS OF GIS OF THE GROUNDWATER SALINISATION OF THE NEOGENE AQUIFER COMPLEX IN KHERSON REGION

O.V. Scherbak

Spatial visualization of the groundwater salinity changes of the Neogene complex aquifer in Kherson region was made by means of GIS. The area of distribution saline groundwater is increasing. Groundwater for drinking water supply is available only in the southern and some northern parts of the region. The rest of the region is being heavily offered by the process of groundwater salinization.
