The territory of Kalmykia is represented by a semi-desert steppe, located in the southern part of Europe. For the landscape in the eastern and southern parts of it are characterized by small elevations of barkhan sands (no more than 30-40 m in height). In the south there are Andratine sands, which often migrate during strong winds. In connection with these processes, the problems of engineering geology and in particular the flooding of settlements were considered. How can flooded areas appear in semi-deserts, where there are almost no large water bodies? The urgency of the issue of engineering-geological zoning of the territory of the Republic of Kalmykia is determined by the need for the integrated use of its natural resources. In connection with this, the forecasting of physico-geological and technogenic processes, the complex study of the natural environment and the identification of the role of the leading factors of its change become important. The goal of the task is to identify current problems arising from the anthropogenic impact of human activities. It is also necessary to analyze the geological, hydrogeological and hydrological processes that have taken place in recent years in the field of engineering and geological surveys in large settlements in the territory of Kalmykia. For this purpose, the methods of laboratory research conducted on the basis of KalmSU and reports, literature sources and data from the Internet were used. As a result, the obtained data will allow analyzing some territories in terms of architectural and construction concepts and development of settlements in the region under study. Unsuitable, technical water is planned to be cleaned using small mobile treatment plants.
