ABSTRACT

The article examines the geological and stratigraphic prerequisites for the formation of aquifer complexes in the Azov-Kuban artesian basin. Primary attention is focused on the upper part of the sedimentary cover, which hosts the main freshwater groundwater resources. The stratigraphy, lithological composition, thickness, and facies variability of the Upper Sarmatian, Maeotian, Pontian, Kimmerian, Kuyalnikian, and Quaternary aquifer complexes are characterized. It is established that the most favorable conditions for freshwater accumulation exist in the southern part of the basin, resulting from a combination of geomorphological and lithofacies factors. The heightened vulnerability of aquifers to anthropogenic contamination and the need for differentiated water resource management are highlighted.

KEYWORDS
