BASIC PRINCIPLES OF STRUCTURAL AND HYDROGEOLOGICAL MAPPING OF THE BAIKAL REGION

Abstract

Structural and hydrogeological zonation of the Baikal region is based on allocation of hydrogeological structures within the large tectonic complexes differing in development history. It is a southeast part of the Siberian platform, the Sayan-Baikalian folded belt and the western part of the Transbaikal folded region. The Cenozoic activation of the region which has led to emergence of the Baikal rift and movements on a series of large fault zones in Transbaikalia has substantially influenced on formation of collecting properties of rocks.
