There are significant salt resources of rock salt, potassium-magnesium salts and natural brines within Carpathian region of Ukraine.Recovery features of Precarpathian potassium industry and development prospects of rock salt deposits exploitation are examined.Territories of salt mining enterprises often suffer from dangerous geological phenomena manifestations (salt karst etc.) taking a scope of geoecological catastrophes sometimes. The problems of degraded territories rehabilitation and salt resources protection are reflected.
