Analysis of pollution sources formation processes in the region of the worked-out and flooded copper pyrite pits of the Middle Urals has been made. Their impact upon surface water bodies’ status has been assessed. It has been shown that after termination of the pits’ operation and their wet conservation the high level of the hydrosphere pollution remains.

Water tables in aquifer regions of the southwest United States are dropping off at a rate which is greater than can be replaced by natural means. It is estimated that by 1985 wells will run dry in this region unless adequate artificial recharging can be accomplished. Recharging with surface water is limited by the plugging of permeable rock formations underground by clay particles and organic debris.A controlled study was initiated in which sand grains were used as the rock formation and water with known clay concentrations as the recharge media. The plugging mechanism was investigated by direct observation in the SEM of frozen hydrated sand samples from selected depths.
