GEOPHYSICAL STUDY OF FLOODING OF URBAN CONGLOMERATES AREAS

The article is dedicated to using of thegeophysical study of flooding of urban conglomerates areas. The studies were performed within the framework of three stages of exploration of flooding area:reconnaissance-methodical, detailed and monitored ones. The most effective principles of the geophysical mapping of flooding area with geoelectrical horizontal section in depth, creation of geological and geophysical model of the upper part of the section are described. This approach made an assessment tool for classification of the flooding-prone urban areas (on example of flooding area of the Expocenter of Ukraine territory, Kyiv). It is important to note that there is no universal set of geophysical methods for the study of flooding of urban area. This point must be taken into account when choosing the proper geophysical method, elimination of the effects of physical differentiation of soils and economic efficiency of the chosen complex of geophysical methods.
