Using the method of long-term water balance for the North part of Paramushir, we determined that about 400 mm of atmospheric precipitation replenish them every year. It makes up 13 % of the whole quantity. The calculations were made for the every water balance section of researching region. In the result sizable seats of relief of the underground waters were revealed in the basins of big rivers of the east slope and some river basins of the west slope of Vernadskii range. On these sections the surplus of moisture is from 9 % to 26 % from average long-term precipitation’s value. The obtained data will be co-coordinated with geology-hydrogeological conditions of the region.
