A detailed hydrogeological zoning of the central part of the Minusinsk artesian basin is performed. Local basins confined to smaller plicated structures, as well as hydrogeological massifs of local scale, are recognized within large block structures. Direction of subsurface streams and their role in the formation of ground-water resources and composition are discussed. Forecast resources of fresh groundwater ar estimated for every recognized structure.
