Determining characteristics of groundwater using geoinformatics methods

Using the methods and capabilities of geoinformatics, the key features of groundwater in the Orenburg region are determined. The morphometric analysis of the digital terrain model made it possible to estimate the flow directions and the angles of inclination of the surface, the depth of the groundwater level and the degree of their protection from external influences. The obtained results can be used for the organization and implementation of integrated geoecological monitoring of the geological environment, the underground and surface hydrosphere and individual water bodies.
