Description
Summary:The relevance of the discussed issue. Studying the anthropogenic evolution and transformation of underground hydrosphere within urbanized territories is the relevant issue nowadays. Underflooding and forming of technogenic aquifers cause serious geological hazards, that has been seen in some districts of Irkutsk. That fact sets a problem of forecasting and controlling underground hydrosphere to maintain sustainable development and environmental compatibility of Irkutsk. This paper is positioned as a part of complex study of underground hydrosphere sustainability within urbanized territories. The main aim is to define theoretically the complex of determining factors, which provide technogenic underground hydrosphere evolution within territory of Irkutsk, to evaluate numerically and to map each factor spatial distribution, zoning according to the level of anthropogenic influence. The methods used in the study. The authors have analyzed the underground pipeline schemes, road network and land
