Problem of saving and restoration of natural resources is one of main natural protection tasks in the time of investigation and exploitation of mineral deposits. In connection with this, studying of natural conditions of territory and assessment of influence on these conditions (in particular, on water resources) is the most urgent task in modern conditions during the deposits' development. Estimation of influence of mining works on the hydrosphere state was made by example of Garlyk potassium salts deposit (Turkmenistan). Making a provision for intensive screening of basin (area) bottom by watertight covers is necessary for protection of underground waters from negative influence of contaminants. This provision will allow to decrease the filtration losses significantly. Creation of drainage systems near the objects of contamination along the direction of underground waters' flow can be also considered for capturing of already infiltrated brines. A very important measure is creation of secure network directly on the placing sites and on adjacent territories. This network is used for carrying out of stationary hydrochemical researches of consumption of filtrated waters (brines) and their contaminating.
