ECOLOGIC POTENTIAL OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL AND HYDROGEOLOGICAL SYSTEMS IN THE AREA OF KUCHINSKY MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE LANDFILL (MOSCOW REGION)

Abstract

The paper describes the interpretation of the terms «ecologic potential» (EP) and «environmental and hydrogeological system», proposed by the author to assess the ability of the hydrogeological system to maintain or restore the properties of its self-organization under the influence of the man-caused stress. The environmental-hydrogeological systems developed within the boundaries of Pekhorskoe deposit of groundwater in the area of landfill «Kuchino», have been considered. The high level of the groundwater pollution of the lower-middle Quaternary aquifer as a system of the type I devoid of aeration zone as a result of storage of municipal solid waste (MSW), has been suggested. The evidence data of the groundwater quality of the aquifer Kasimov as the EGGS of type II has shown the formation of the high ecologic potential, stable for more than 50 years as a result of the processes of destruction in relation to nitrogen compounds, organic substances, petroleum products, anionic surfactants, pathogenic microorganisms, phenols. It is also shown that macro-components have a lower potential, which is provided by the processes of groundwater flow expansion of the the solid waste landfill.
