Yakut artesian basin
Abstract
The Yakut artesian basin is one of the largest basins in the USSR in terms of area and thickness of sedimentary strata, different in composition, age and origin. The area of the basin is more than one million square kilometers. The thickness of sedimentary deposits is measured in kilometers. In terms of area, this basin exceeds the Dnieper-Donets, Moscow, Verkhnelensk, Kansk, Irkutsk, Khatanga, Nizhnezeisky artesian basins and the largest basin in Western Europe — the Paris basin. Thus, the Yakut artesian basin occupies a central position among the following hydrogeological areas of the USSR: the Khatanga basin in the north, the Tunguska basin and the Anabar hydrogeological massif in the west, the Verkhnelensk basin and the Aldan hydrogeological massif in the south, and the Verkhoyansk hydrogeological folded area in the east.
