The study examined groundwater intakes in the villages of Dmitrivka, Kozatske, Kropyvne, Kobizhcha, Makiyivka, and Markivtsi in the Nizhyn district of the Chernihiv region. Water samples for research were collected in the autumn of 2024 and 2025 (water intake depth 100-140 meters).
Purpose of the work. To study the composition of water from water intakes in settlements of the Nizhyn district of the Chernihiv region, to determine compliance with regulatory indicators for a scientifically sound solution to the problem of providing the population with high-quality drinking water.
Methodology. Organoleptic (smell, color, turbidity), basic physicochemical (pH, total hardness, total alkalinity, dry residue), and microbiological (total microbial count, presence of E. coli and enterococci) indicators of water samples were determined using generally accepted methods. The concentration of cations (Ca2+, Mg2+, Fe2+ and Fe3+, Mn2+, Zn2+, Cu2+, Al3+, Mo2+, Na+ and K+, NH4+) and anions (HCO3-, F-, SO42-, Cl-, NO2-, NO3-, PO43-) was also determined. The results obtained were compared with the normative values, in particular DSanPin 2.2.4-171-10.
The scientific novelty lies in conducting a thorough analysis of groundwater intakes in the settlements of the Nizhyn district of the Chernihiv region.
Conclusions. To solve the problem of providing the population of the Nizhyn district of the Chernihiv region with high-quality drinking water that is transparent, not cloudy, not colored, with good organoleptic characteristics, corresponding to current standards for physical, chemical, and microbiological indicators, and does not have a negative impact on the nervous and mental state of humans, and is beneficial to consume, it is necessary to conduct a more detailed study of the composition of the water, constant expanded monitoring, and the use of modern water treatment technologies that take into account the peculiarities of its composition. In this case, an individual approach should be applied as the most suitable technical solution, since the water from water intakes has a unique chemical profile.
