| All data available about ground waters in sedimentary areas are for the first time generalized in this paper. Peculiar hydrogeological features of sedimentary areas are assumed to have been due to the geological structures and geological development of such areas. The occurrence patterns and composition of ground waters are described in detail for those sedimentary areas, where the artesian-type hydrogeological structures are hosted in a sedimentary cover. The circum-Arctic and circum-Pacific permafrost-hydrogeological areas differ by their ground waters recharge and discharge patterns affected by the continuity and thickness of frozen rocks, precipitation and air temperatures. The processes of fluids infilling individual post-artesian hydrogeological reservoirs and the influencing effects of the Earth’s crust ebbs of the solar-and-lunar character are of the greatest research interest. The world-wide climate and sea level changes in late Pleisocene and Holocene time intervals are recognized to have been of a hydrogeological significance. The investment-worthy scientific researches to be further conducted are designed. |
