Abstract. In this article the regime of the North-East Slope of Great Caucasus region springs have been analyzed. The character of the distribution of the spring runoff to the radial direction of the groundwater runoff from the cen­ter of the mountainous zone of the North-East Slope of Great Caucasus to its periphery and is completely ana­logous to the distribution of surface runoff. The analysis of the quality of spring water comply with ГОСТ 2874-82. (Drinking water). As a result of the analysis, the maximum quantity of water springs was determined in the Guba district (7,1 l/s) a minimum in Khizi district (0.02 l/s).
