Interconnection of water/economic problems with a region forest content and necessity of forest/melioration measures and actions on water protection against pollution and depletion on the basis of the advanced techniques application has been shown. 337 water intake wells located mostly in the riverine zones where the main resources of fresh water situated have been tested. The investigation object was a zone of active water exchange of the regional hydrosphere with macro- and mezzo-basins of water runoff. It has been stated that the increasing scales of the technogenic processes cause negative geo/dynamic phenomena, growing natural disasters and hazardous risks. Measures on mitigation and prevention of the negative geo/dynamic processes have been vindicated and developed. Some methods of assessment of groundwater formation processes, as well as laboratory, calculation/graphic and experimental methods have been applied. Geological/geophysical and hydro/geological information with the results of physical/chemical analysis of natural and waste water samples (> 2000 samples) have been summarized. Some cases of technogenic disturbance of the balance-unbalance water-rock-gas-living being system have been investigated. It has been concluded that it is necessary to stop deforestation, plowing up, dam construction and any other construction but water/protective one in river floodplains to preserve water resources. It is recommended to apply barrier techniques to protect water resources against pollution and to purify water.
