In March 2015 the scientific community celebrated the 110th anniversary of the birth of one of the founders of the hydrogeological and engineering-geological school, an honouree of State Award of the USSR and the Byelorussian SSR, Academician Gerasim Vasilyevich Bogomolov. The article is devoted to several important stages of the development of Russian hydrogeology, which are primarily associated with the research conducted by G.V.Bogomolov. His role in the development of hydrogeology in Belarus, i.e. theory and practice of the use of groundwater, is emphasized. This article is about the man who was a brilliant geologist, scholar, lecturer and an outstanding research manager. G.V.Bogomolov founded a school of disciples and followers who continued to develop and put into practice the academician’s ideas in various branches of geological theory and practice.
The article deals with the peculiarities of engineering geological and hydrogeological conditions in the paleovalley zone in northwestern part of St. Petersburg. The paper focuses on the main aspects of complex development of underground space of heterogeneous zones.
The article describes the features of geomorphological and geological-structural construction, engineering-geological and hydrogeological conditions of Primorskiy part of Saint Petersburg. There are describe a geological section of rocks of the Quaternary, given hydrochemical characteristic for typification and zoning of development areas of construction.
The new situation with the carrying out of monitoring of underground waters on regional level was mainly caused by two reasons: 1) new regulations on the preservation of the environment were approved; the present water Regulations are being renewed; 2) studying of regime-forming factors of underground waters (geological, cosmic, climatic, biological, hydrological and technogenic) testify to the urgent necessity of introducing certain amendments into the system and maintainance of monitoring of underground waters.
