Abstract

A simple assessment of nitrate pollution of spring water of the Kaluga urban district using the threshold limit value showed that the decrease in the average concentration of nitrates in groundwater of 30 springs from 2001 to 2016 is almost 25%, but this assessment does not allow solving a number of environmental problems. According to the proposed criterion for not exceeding the margin of error standard for the determining nitrates methods and the total hardness of water, the standard deviation values show that there is stable nitrate content in spring water of only 4 sources and this indicates lack of significant impacts of natural and anthropogenic factors on these springs. At the same time, the effect of prolonged rains on the quality of groundwater was quantitatively confirmed for some springs: on average, the nitrate content increased by almost 2.3 times after rains in June 2004.
