Groundwater Generation and Distribution Regularities

Geological and structural conditions within Azerbaijan permit to isolate the Greater and the Lesser Caucasus mountain zones and the Kur-Araz Lowland that separates them, though the Talysh Mountains is separated from the Lesser Caucasus by the Araz River in the southeast. Three regions are isolated as geostructural regions (first-order tectonic structures): A—the Greater Caucasus fold-mountain zone, B—the Lesser Caucasus fold-mountain zone, and C—the Kur-Araz Lowland (Alekperov et al. 2008).
