- Title
Mine Waters of the Eastern Donbass and Their Effect on the Chemistry of Groundwater and Surface Water in the Region.

- Abstract
Regularities in the formation of mining water chemistry in Eastern Donbass were established and described for the 100-year period from the 1920s to 2010. The total of more than 1500 analyses were used. The changes in the chemistry were largest in the 1940s-1950s in the mines that had been recovered during World War II and after the mass abandonment of mines in the region (2002-2010). The size of groundwater resources acceptable for drinking water supply had decreased considerably; and the volumes of polluted surface water had increased abruptly. The export of dissolved substances by mining waters onto land surface reached its maximum (426 thousand t/year) in 2010. Four main lines of transformation of mine water chemistry were identified and their genesis was interpreted.
