Relevance of the research is determined by the need to understand the mechanisms of interaction between groundwater, swamp and river waters in conditions of severe swampiness in the taiga zone of Western Siberia to solve a number of scientific and engineering problems both at present and in the future. The aim: quantitative assessment of changes in the levels of groundwaters during the characteristic periods of swamping of the southeast of the West Siberian Plain: 1) the beginning of an intensive spread of peat swamps with a peat deposit thickness of 0,3 m or more; 2) oligotrophization of swamps. Methods: methods of mathematical modeling, statistical methods. Results and conclusions. The author has carried out the analysis of peat deposit structure in the southern part of the Chaya river (a tributary of the Ob river) catchment area. The large-scale formation of peat swamps (with a peat thickness of 0,3 m or more) in the area under consideration occurred approximately 4 thousand years ago; the oligotrophization of the peat deposit (on a regional scale) occurred approximately 2,0…1,5 thousand years ago. In both cases, the main part of the swamps presumably could be attributed to the lowland type, but compared with the modern period in the first case their total area was 2 times less, and in the second was 1,7 times more. Taking into account these estimates, the average values of infiltration Inf and filtration coefficients Kf were determined, the ratio Inf/Kf dependence on the area of low-moor peat swamps was obtained, and groundwater levels were calculated at the present time and for periods of 1,7 and 4,1 thousand years ago. During the oligotrophization of the peat deposit (approximately 2,0.1,5 thousand years ago), with a high probability, there was a deterioration in ...
