FEATURES OF THE ISOTOPIC COMPOSITION OF GROUNDWATER IN
THE MANGYSTAU REGION
Abstract.
This paper presents data on the isotopic composition of fresh and mineral groundwater in the
Mangystau region.
The least studied component of the hydrologic cycle is groundwater involvement. Isotopes of natural origin
are used as indicators to find out whether groundwater is replenished, its genesis, how it moves, whether it is
at risk of pollution, and whether it is susceptible to changing climatic conditions. Waters of different genesis
have specific isotopic signatures that leave a unique “footprint”. This is used to track the movement of water
throughout the entire hydrologic cycle - evaporation, burial, infiltration, runoff, evapotranspiration, etc.
This paper presents the results of a study of groundwater genesis using a comprehensive approach that
would be relatively inexpensive and not require long observation cycles. In this case, to study the rates of
water exchange and groundwater formation conditions in the Mangystau region used data on the chemical
and isotopic composition of water (
18
O,
2
H), and the concentration of tritium (
3
H), obtained by sampling in
September 2021 The sampled areas are located within the Mangystau-Ustyurt hydrogeological basin, which
occupies the southwestern part of the vast Turan plate and is located south of the Caspian hydrogeological
basin.
Analysis of isotopic compositions (contents of deuterium, oxygen-18 and tritium) of water samples
was performed at the Institute of Radiation Safety and Ecology (National Nuclear Center of the Republic
of Kazakhstan) on a high-sensitivity laser spectrometer LGR 912-0008. VSMOW standards were used as
reference standards, Measurement of radionuclide
3
H was carried out on liquid scintillation beta spectrometer
TRI-CARB 2900TR.
