The Taman geological region, confined to the Peninsula of the same name, has specific features of the geological and tectonic structure, lithological composition of rocks, geomorphology and climate of the area, which influenced the complex conditions of underground water formation. The geological section of the study area is represented by deposits from Cretaceous to Quaternary age and is composed of terrigenous sediments. Water-bearing complexes are fed by atmospheric precipitation, by the flow of water from one horizon to another, and by the inflow of underground water from the Central parts of the Azov-Kuban artesian basin. Underground waters of the territory are classified as ground and pressure waters based on their occurrence conditions and hydraulic properties. According to the conditions of formation, circulation, and regime of groundwater, the following aquifers are distinguished in the section: Quaternary, upper Pliocene, and upper Cimmerian sediments, and the Eocene-lower Pliocene aquifer. Deep-lying aquifers are considered unpromising for water supply due to their high mineralization and low flow rate. For water supply, only the upper part of the section is promising, due to the fact that it is composed of sandy-clay sediments, such as clays, loams, sandy loams, Sands, gravel and shell rocks. Thus, in the study area, the most promising for domestic drinking water supply are underground waters of Quaternary and upper Pliocene deposits.
