The Astrakhan region has unique underground water resources among the regions of the Russian Federation and at the world level, which make it possible to use them not only to improve the human habitat, but also to obtain from them valuable industrial components that are not extracted in Europe, Asia and other parts of the world, which will dramatically increase the economic situation of the region and improve the socio - medical condition of the region. According to the Methodological Guidelines "Classification of mineral waters and therapeutic mud for the purposes of their vertification" of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, underground mineral waters are among the leading raw materials of the state. The main criteria for assessing the value of mineral waters are the features of their chemical composition and physical properties (the indicator of total mineralization, the prevailing ions, the increased content of gases, trace elements, the value of acidity and the temperature of the source), which at the same time serve as the most important indicators for their classification. The group of mineral waters includes underground natural waters, the dissolved salts of which are used for industrial extraction, as well as for medicinal purposes for external use or for internal use. Medicinal drinking water is considered to be water that is suitable for ingestion by its total mineralization or in the case of dilution with fresh water (up to 1-15 g/dm) retains its traditional natural properties.

Key words: underground water, industrial components, balneology, water treatment, drinking water
