UNDERGROUND DRINKING WATER OF KAZAKHSTAN AND PROBLEMS OF THEIR CONTAMINATION
Abstract
Assessment of changes in hydrogeological conditions of groundwater deposits under climatic effect and human impact requires in-depth study. It especially concerns groundwater deposits of drinking quality. Providing drinking water to the population of large cities and most of the medium-size and small populated areas of Kazakhstan is based on these changes. The UN carries out special control and analysis of the state of drinking water supply to people around the world, which, unfortunately, testifies to the catastrophic shortage of clean drinking water in a number of countries with an arid climate. So, over 2 billion people on the Earth have no access to clean drinking water. Kazakhstan, like many Central Asian countries, is located in regions where the arid climate prevails, and large rivers are transboundary. The flow of these rivers is reduced from year to year and the water quality often does not meet the requirements of Drinking water GOST. The groundwater is considered to be the main drinking resource in the world. Therefore, the problems of hydro geochemistry are topical.
