Conclusions 1. Hydrochemical methods of investigating the seepage flow under conditions of the Irkutsk hydrostation should be used in combination with traditional methods of observing the condition of the structures. 2. As indicators of the seepage flows and subsurface waters it is possible to use, along with mineralization of the water, the content in water of C1− ions and the sum of the derivatives of carbonic acid ∑C02, which in certain cases give a more accurate idea about the seepage flow in the foundation when determining the effect of water on concrete of the structures and grout curtain. 3. Having distributed the content of the indicator (total ions, Cl−, ∑CO2) in the piezometers along the equipotential lines of the seepage flow net, we can obtain a clear picture of the distribution of seepage flows and subsurface waters in the foundation and body of the structures. It is necessary to note that the seepage flow net obtained by calculation or on the EHDA instrument does not always correspond to the actual picture of seepage, which somewhat reduces the accuracy of the proposed method. 4. The preliminary conclusions about the mechanism of interaction of the seepage flow with concrete of structures require further refinement by setting up broader hydrochemical investigations of seepage, including seepage through cracks in the concrete.
