The authors maintain that as a result of investigations performed during groundwater exploration, all necessary information for substantiating the hydrogeological model of the reservoir should be obtained, and that the most diverse complex of works should be carried out on reservoirs confined to multiple aquifer systems under conditions of an intercommunication of ground- and surface waters in a complex hydrochemical setting. The methods and results of substantiating a model of the Shadrinsk groundwater reservoir confined to a typical multiple aquifer system and characterized simultaneously by quite complex hydrochemical conditions are examined in this paper. The hydrogeochemical conditions are characterized by complex horizontal and vertical hydrochemical zonation. A preliminary assessment of the conditions of interaction of the aquifers was made from the hydrochemical and isotope data. It is shown that the complex of hydrogeological investigations made it possible to obtain the necessary data for making hydrochemical and hydrodynamic forecasts on the basis of a substantiated and sufficiently reliable hydrogeological model.
