Water is the most common substance on our planet, thanks to which it supports in her life. It is in the lithosphere and in the hydrosphere. The Earth's biosphere is ¾ of water. Important role in the circulation of the substance play it underground. Here it can be formed from the mantle gases in the process flow of an atmospheric precipitation, etc. In this article we consider the types of groundwater.
Under groundwater understand the latter, found in the earth's crust, located in the rocks located below the Earth's surface in different States of aggregation. They are part of the hydrosphere. As considers V. I. Vernadsky, the water can be placed up to 60 km, the Estimated amount of groundwater located at a depth of 16 km, is 400 million cubic km, that is, a third of the waters of the oceans. They are located in two floors. At the bottom of them are metamorphic and igneous rocks, therefore, the amount of water is limited. Bulk water is located at the top floor, which houses the sediment.
It distinguish 3 zones: the upper — free; middle and lower — slow water exchange. The types of groundwater composition in different zones are different. So, at the top of these are fresh water used for maintenance drinking and economic purposes. In the middle area is the ancient water of different mineral composition. The most highly mineralized brines, which are extracted from various elements.

There are the following types of groundwater mineralization: ultra-fresh with a relatively high salinity - only the last group can reach the level of mineralization of 1.0 g/cub. DM; salty, salty, high salinity brines. At last a mineralization in excess of 35 mg/ cubic decimeter.
There are the following types of groundwater by conditions of occurrence: vadose, groundwater, artesian and ground water.
Perched mainly on the lenses and nipped layers of low permeable or impermeable rocks in the aeration zone by infiltration of surface and atmospheric water. Sometimes it is formed due to the illuvial horizon under a layer of soil. The formation of these waters is related to the processes of condensation of water vapor in addition to those listed above. In some climate zones they form fairly large amounts of quality water, but mostly are formed by low-yield aquifers, endangered species during drought and formed in periods of intense flooding. Basically, this kind of groundwater is typical for loams. Its power reaches 0.4 to 5 m. a Significant impact on the formation of perched has an elevation. On steep slopes it exists a short time or not at all. On the flat plains with depressions in the form of saucers and flat watershed, on the surface of waterways formed a more stable Bank. It has no hydraulic connection with the river waters, thus easily contaminated in other waters. However, she can feed ground water, and may be spent for evaporation. Perched can be fresh or brackish.
Groundwater is the part of the groundwater. They are located in the first aquifer from the surface, occur in the first aquifer, exposed area. Basically, they - the gravity of water, a small push can have in the areas of local waterproof overlap. Depth, their chemical and physical properties are subject to periodic fluctuations. Common. Fed by infiltration of precipitation from the atmosphere, filtration of surface water, condensation of water vapor and vnutrisustavnogo evaporation, additional power supplied from the downstream aquifers.
Artesian water is part of the groundwater with the pressure occurring in the aquifers between the relatively water-resistant and waterproof layers. They lie deeper groundwater. They have, in most cases, nutrition and creating pressure is not the same. The water comes in well below an established level. Properties of these waters less susceptible to fluctuations and contamination compared with the ground.
The Soil and water represent those, which are confined to soil water layer involved in the supply of plants with substance, connected with the atmosphere, vadose and ground waters. They have a significant impact on the chemical composition of ground water in their deeper layers. If the latter are shallow, the soil preobrazhaetsya and starts bogging. Gravitational water does not form a separate horizon, the movement is carried out downwards under the action of capillary forces or gravity in different directions.
The Main types of groundwater are infiltration, which are formed due to the seepage of atmospheric precipitation. In addition, they can be formed as a result of condensation of water vapor, which falls in fractured andporous rocks together with air. In addition to this, there are relict (buried) water that was in the ancient pools, but were buried by powerful layers of sedimentary rocks. Also separate views are thermal waters, which were formed at the last stages of magmatic processes. These waters form a magmatic or juvenile types.
There are the following types of ground water flow (see figure).
The Seepage of surface water and precipitation from the atmosphere occurs in the zone of aeration. However, this process is divided into the free exercise and normal infiltration. The first involves movement from top to bottom under the influence of gravity and capillary forces according to some tubules, and capillary pores, while pore space is not saturated with water which contributes to maintaining air movement. When normal infiltration to the above forces join the gradients of hydrostatic pressure, which leads to the fact that the pores are completely filled with water.
In a zone of saturation are the hydrostatic pressure and the force of gravity that contributes to the displacement of free water in cracks and pores in the hand, reducing pressure, or the slope of the surface horizon, carrying water. This motion is called filtration. The highest rate of movement of water occurs in underground karst caves and channels. In second place are gravel. A much slower movement was observed in the Sands — the speed is 0.5-5 m/day.
Data groundwater klassificeret on the supra permafrost, mineralogie and podmerzaniya. The first is located in the thickness of permafrost in the aquitard is mainly at the foot of slopes or at the bottom of river valleys. They, in turn, are divided into seasonal freezing, bleak, located in the active layer; the seasonal partially frozen, with the upper part of the active layer, seasonal frost-free, the occurrence of which is noted below the seasonal freezing layer. In some cases, a rupture of the active layer of different soils, which leads to a release of some part of the supra permafrost waters to the surface, where it becomes ice.
Mineralnye water may be present in the liquid phase, but the greatest distribution was received in the solid phase; generally not subject to seasonal processes of thawing/freezing. Data of water in the liquid phase provide the exchange with an over - and podmerzaniya waters. Unable to come to the surface as springs. Podmerzaniya waters are artesian. They can be from fresh to brines.
The Types of the underground waters of the same that was discussed above.
There are the following types of groundwater contamination: chemicals that, in turn, divided into organic and inorganic, thermal, radioactive and biological.
As chemical pollutants are mainly liquid and solid industrial waste, and pesticides and fertilizers from agricultural producers. Heavy metals, other toxic elements to the greatest extent strike the ground water. Aquifers they extend to considerable distances. Similarly behaves and radionuclide contamination.
Biological contamination causes pathogenic microflora. Pollution sources are usually farmyards, fields, filter, faulty drainage, cesspools, etc. the Proliferation of the microflora is determined by the filtration rate and survival of these organisms.
Thermal pollution is a temperature increase of underground waters arising in the operation of the water intake. It can occur in the areas of dumping of waste sewage, or when the location of the intake near the pond with warmer surface waters.
The Extraction of groundwater as a form of subsoil use are regulated by the Federal law “On subsoil". Extraction of these objects requires a license. It is issued in relation to groundwater for up to 25 years. The time begins to run from the moment of state registration of the license.
Work on the production must be registered in Rosreestra. Next, draft a exploration and transmit it to the state examination. Then, a project of the organization Sankranti groundwater supply, evaluate the reserves of these waters and transmit payments in the state, the Foundation of geo-information and rosgeolfond. Next, to the obtained documents apply certificate of ownership to land, and then filing an application for a license.
What are the types of groundwater there in Russia? The same as in the world. The area of our country is large enough, so it has permafrost and artesian, groundwater, and soil water. The classification of these objects is quite complex, and in this article it is incomplete, there is shown the the highlights.
