摘要：This article, through the example of one of the country’s most complex and contrastive mountainous regions, the Northwest Caucasus, examines the regime of brook and river streamflow in mountain conditions and its dynamics in conjunction with the economic reclamation of forest ecosystems in river catchment areas. The paper provides the findings of a research study into the quality of slope run-off affecting the sanitary condition of mineral water springs. The author illustrates the patterns of change in the regime and quality of streamflow under the impact of economic activities.
