Hydrology and Water Resources
Among the many factors affecting the average life expectancy and mortality of the population, along with the effective services of the health care system, an important place is occupied by the ecological condition of the environment, in particular, the quality of the security of its resources for human health. Providing the population with safe, clean, drinking water is one of the most important factors in the world and among them in Georgia. According to the data of the World Health Organization, almost 2 billion people around the world suffer from a shortage of safe drinking water. Today, 1 billion 200 million people around the world suffer from a lack of safe drinking water.
The water consumed by modern society contains hundreds of thousands of different types of pollutants. Contaminated drinking water accelerates the aging process of the body by 30%. Under drinking water, we mean such water, the consumption of which does not cause negative changes in the health of the population. Problem urgency in Georgia has become due to increment of frequency, number infectious and carcinogenic diseases of unknown origin. Presumably one of the main reasons of population low life expectancy, infants and maternal mortality high rate, women breast cancer cases increment, pregnancy interruption etc. in country is the drinking water low quality and its disinfection by chlorine. In the presented article the results of drinking water supply main reservoir of Tbilisi ecological state research are discussed.
