Abstract.

. Purpose. Determination of the possibility of applying the method of observing the natural impulse electromagnetic field of the Earth to isolate watering faults with the subsequent laying of water water-interception wells. Methods. The method of the natural impulse electromagnetic field of the Earth was used to isolate flooded faults in the studied areas. Findings. The development of deposits of minerals by the open method is often hampered by abundant water inflows into the quarry of groundwater’s as a result of disturbance of the natural hydrogeological conditions of the site of work. To solve such problems, the article shows the possibility of using the method of the natural impulse electromagnetic field of the Earth in order to isolate watered disruptive disturbances on the territory of the Yeristovo quarry. The tectonic disturbances identified by us are characterized by the submeridional orientation of the structures of the natural impulse electromagnetic field of the Earth. Based on the studies performed, it can be concluded that it is advisable to perform the inception of water-interception wells within the minimum values of the natural impulse electromagnetic field of the Earth - in the southern parts of the sites. Originality. For the first time, using the method of observing the natural impulse electromagnetic field of the Earth, the natural impulse electromagnetic field of the Earth flux density maps were constructed in areas adjacent to the Yeristovo career, which made it possible to single out the positions of watering faults. Their strike azimuths coincide with the main ones - the Main and Yeristovo faults. Practical implications. Based on the studies performed, it is possible to recommend the laying of water-interception wells, which should be carried out within the zones with the minimum values of the natural impulse electromagnetic field of the Earth in the southern parts of the research sites. For the first time, three-dimensional models of distinguished tectonic structures were constructed, according to which it is possible to trace the elements of shear deformation, as well as the anticlinal fold structure.

Keywords: natural impulse electromagnetic field of the Earth, tectonic disturbance, water inflow, Yeristovo fault, Main fault.
