The problem of additional water-absorption of the aquifer complex of separate sections of crystalline rocks within the central part of the Ukrainian shield is highlighted.The user's access to high-quality water for water use, as well as for technical needs, is complicated by time for various reasons. Thus, the use of these resources in areas with the development of crystalline rocks is widespread, however, because rocks are not characterized by high water absorption and, as a rule, ineffective. The growing need for water resources in the future, but the low experience of storing and accumulation of surface water in the conditions of the Ukrainian Shield, indicates the need to address the issue of productivity of water intake of groundwater of cracked crystalline rocks. Increasing the efficiency of their use is a very difficult task, but it is possible under the condition of artificial replenishment of groundwater of crystalline rocks.The possibilities of artificial recharge of groundwater system, which is widely known for the aquifers of sediment deposits, are considered, in contrast to underground waters of cracked crystalline rocks.A brief characterization of the water content of crystalline rocks is given, as well as examples of some approaches to increasing groundwater reserves in these rocks.
