Abstract

The main problems associated with the use of water for economic and domestic needs from an underground natural source are considered. The task was to study water samples according to the following indicators: total coliform bacteria, thermotolerant coliform bacteria, total microbial number, smell, taste, color, turbidity, pH, total mineralization (dry residue), total hardness, permanganate oxidizability, petroleum products (total), active substances (surfactants) (anionic), aluminum, Boron (B, total), Iron (Fe, total), Manganese (Mn, total), Molybdenum, Arsenic, Nitrates (according to NO3), Sulphates (SO42−), Fluorine (F), Chlorides (Cl), Chromium (Cr6+), Cyanides, Ammonia and ammonium ion (for nitrogen), Nitrite (for NO3), Magnesium, Bicarbonate ion, Calcium, Cadmium (Cd, total), Copper, Nickel, Lead, Strontium, Zinc. When conducting research, an excess of MPC in terms of nitrate (NO3) was revealed (Filov et al. in Harmful chemicals, p. 592, 1989; Lazareva and Gadaskina in Harmful substances in industry, p. 110, 1977). The conclusion is formed and recommendations for improving the quality of water are given.
