Abstract

In the present work, on the basis of physiographic, permafrost conditions and geological and structural features, for the first time in the literature, a brief description of the hydrogeology of one of the areas of the southern part of the Yakut artesian basin - the vicinity of the town of Olekminsk - is given. The work utilizes materials of the thematic party of the All-Russian Geological Institute - YaSU, which was headed by the author in 1951 -1953, and some literature data on the geology and hydrogeology of the Olekminsky district of the YASSR. The area considered in this paper, occupying a small area of the left bank of the Lena River in the vicinity of Olekminsk, is located in the southern part of the Yakut artesian basin, discovered in 1939-1940 by a team of hydrogeologists and permafrost scientists (Prof. N. I. Tolstikhin, M. I. Sumgin, Associate Professor V. M. Maksimov, Prof. V. M. Maksimov, Prof. N. I. Tolstikhin, M. I. Sumgin, and Prof. V. M. Maksimov). V. M. Maksimov, Ph.D. in Geology and Mineral Sciences A. M. Efimov, P. I. Melnikov, and Ing. V. A. Obruchev. The town of Olekminsk is a district and cultural center. It is connected with other settlements of Yakutia by dirt roads, water and air routes. The Lena River serves as the main waterway for transportation of goods and passengers from Olekminsk downstream and upstream of the river. This old waterway continues well beyond the boundaries of the study area, linking Olekminsk with Yakutsk and the village of Ust-Kut, from which it passes. Ust-Kut, from which runs a highway and railroad to the village of Zayarsk (on the Angara), linking the area with the Siberian railroad.
