The historical development of water supply sources for the populations of Baku and the Absheron peninsula are described and their water-quality status indicated. The area is an intensely populated part of Azerbaijan subject to the pressures of the urbanization and increasing population densities. As such there are significant pressures on existing water resources and a need to identify supplementary supplies from groundwater sources. It is proposed that future supplies should come from the good quality groundwaters within the Quaternary deposits of the Greater Caucasus foothills of the Samur- Devechi plain. A further possible supply is from the Ganyh-Agrichai Plain.
