Abstract

The paper presents new conceptual approaches to establishing indices for the quality of physiologically wholesome drinking water for the population based on the analysis of the composition of surface and underground sources of water supply in Ukraine. We have proposed ecological regulations for the quality of Ukraine’s surface waters as a basis for the choice of quality values of these indices. These regulations provide effectively for the absence of anthropogenic contamination of natural sources of water supply. We have also considered present-day approaches to regulating maximum admissible concentrations (MAC) of drinking water impurities during its conditioning at the stations of centralized water supply. We have provided qualitative MAC values of water impurities, which may be recommended taking into account technological and economic possibilities.
