FEATURES OF THE FORMATION OF RISKS IN THE WATER SUPPLY OF THE POPULATION OF THE RIVNE REGION UNDER THE CONDITIONS OF THE STATE OF MARTIAL

Abstract

The issue of providing the population of Ukraine with high-quality potable water has always been one of the most socially significant, as it directly affects the health of the population and determines the degree of environmental safety of entire regions. This problem arose most acutely during the martial law in which our country is. The purpose of this research is to study the peculiarities of the formation of risks in the water supply of the population of Rivne region from non-centralized sources and to substantiate the indicators of water quality, which should be the subject to control in the conditions of martial law. The insecurity of aquifers, which are used as a sources of non-centralized water supply in the Rivne region, causes a high level of risk of water pollution in the conditions of military operations. Due to the shelling of critical infrastructure facilities and the massive use of ammunition, a large number of chemical components penetrates to surface and underground waters, causing their critical pollution. It has been established that in the conditions of martial law, when the population is provided with water from non-centralized sources, the probability of their contamination with oil products, heavy metals, dioxins and other substances that penetrates to natural environment due to the use of ammunition and the destruction of infrastructure facilities increases. For the management of risks in the water supply of the rural population of the Rivne region, the implementation of monitoring of sources of non-centralized water supply and, first of all, the timely detection of significant pollution of the soil cover and groundwater associated with military operations acquires special importance. An important component of monitoring is the creation of an information base that would include the results of certification of non-centralized water supply sources, databases and updated information on sources of natural water pollution in the administrative districts of the Rivne region.
