Enrichment of heavy isotopes of hydrogen (D, H) and oxygen (О) is observed in water samples collected from open brine storage of Kalush-Golinsky deposit. The brine storage facilities were formed during the operation of the Kalush-Golynsky deposit of potassium salts and after its decommissioning. Enrichment of isotopes is also observed in groundwater samples, collected from wells located along with downstream groundwater from brine storage facilities. The analysis of levels of influence of possible sources of chemical pollution of groundwater (waters of the Dombrovsky quarry, tailings and sludge storage, salt dumps, saline soils) and correlation relationships between isotopes and groundwater mineralization have been determined by statistical processing of geochemical data.
