Abstract
Under the conditions of the mountain-folded regions, the water-bearing zones in the rock massifs are associated with tectonic disturbances. To identify promising faults and their detailing for the purposes of water supply, electrical survey methods are used quite effectively. When selecting promising sites for water supply wells in rocky arrays, application of search techniques of hydrogeomechanics gives good results. The use of geomechanics greatly simplifies, speeds up and cheapens the selection of promising areas for the targeted implementation of geophysical work and the drilling of hydrogeological wells. Using the example of a search for groundwater located in the Southern Urals, it is shown that the method of hydro-mechanical interpretation of cartographic materials allows us to formulate the content of the questions that geophysical studies should solve. The complex application of hydrogeomechanics and electrical exploration allows to significantly increase the efficiency of hydrogeological works and reduce economic costs at all stages of geological exploration.
