Abstract

International and national requirements concerning regulation of water quality, particularly mineralization (TDS), have been considered in this article. Analysis of series of natural resources of water of Kharkiv region (Ukraine) has been performed. It has been demonstrated that waters of Borivsky district are not physiologically full and do not conform to the international and national standards on discussed parameters. Effects of usage of such water by human population have been analyzed.

Keywords
