The possible consequences of drying up of the most water - bearing tributary of the Chernaya river in the area of the villages of Ternovka and Chernorechya-the Ai-Todorka river due to construction in the valley are considered. One of the main consequences is the depletion of fresh water reserves in the valley of the riverbeds, of which one has already been completely lost, and the second has been significantly changed. As a result, about 3,000 people may lose access to drinking water. The solution to this problem is complicated by the violation of the river's water protection regime - the Ai-Todorka river protection zone (100 meters) is located on a private territory, which does not correspond to the Federal law on the borders of the coastal water protection zone. This issue is currently under consideration by the Prosecutor's office and the Main Department of natural resources and ecology of the city of Sevastopol (Sevprirodnadzor).

In the process of working on the article, the author considered the issue of establishing and ensuring compliance with the land use regime of water protection zones and coastal protection strips (on the example of the city of Kyiv). The urgency of considering this issue lies in the importance of optimizing land use as one of the most important tools to protect water bodies from technogenic and anthropogenic impacts and, in general, to improve the water-ecological situation of the hydrological regime. From which the purpose of the work follows, namely, to study the features of optimization of land use of water protection zones and coastal protection zones in Kyiv by the method of land management for the environmental safety of the city's population and public welfare in general. As a result of the research process, the theoretical basis was formed by scientific works related to the essence of the task, as well as legislative and regulatory legal acts of Ukraine on land use regulation. The information and statistical base was an extract from the scheme of planning restrictions of the General Plan of Kyiv and data of the State Service of Ukraine on Geodesy, Mapping and Cadastre, the State Statistics Service of Ukraine. As a result of research, it was revealed that according to the legislation on the lands of cities and urban-type settlements, the size of the water protection zone, as well as the coastal protection zone, is established according to existing at the time of installation of a water protection zone concrete building conditions. Nevertheless, the example of the city of Kyiv shows that such information may be missing. The author describes the problematic issues of the land management process of works on establishing the boundaries of water protection zones and coastal protection zones and restrictions on the use of land and other natural resources. Expertly determined the approximate possible area, taking into account the specific building conditions and possible flooding at the maximum flood water level. The model of optimization of land use of the territorial community by means of establishment of restrictions in use of the earths and other natural resources occupied by water objects is proposed. At the same time, the model combines technological, instructional and administrative tasks of land use optimization. In addition, the optimality criteria and restrictions on the use of these criteria proposed in the model, which make it possible to unambiguously determine the location of the boundaries of water bodies and restrictions on the use of lands and other natural resources, taking into account the interests of land users and legislation. Keywords: land use optimization, water protection zones, coastal protection strips, land management process

Calculation of additional expense and reduced revenue as a result of drinking water protection in the forest A good portion of the drinking water in Switzerland originates from groundwater wells in the forest. Within the framework of the Water Protection Ordinance these forest areas are designated as groundwater protection zones (core zone, S1; inner protection zone, S2; further protection zone, S3) to protect the drinking water supply against contamination. The designation of a forest area as a protection zone is connected to prescriptions and recommendations influencing forest management and causing additional costs for forest enterprises. On behalf of the Federal Office for Environment, an Excel tool has been developed. With this tool, the additional expense and reduced revenue can be calculated quickly and easily. To reflect the requirements in the tool, courses of action were defined, as they occur in forest management (e.g. no chemical wood treatment in the S2 and S3 zone, utilization of non-polluting fuels and lubricants). Subsequently, these courses were converted into mathematical formulae quantifying the additional costs. Three harvesting methods common in forest management were thereby distinguished, a motor-manual harvesting method, a fully mechanized harvesting method and a harvesting method for steep slopes. The results calculated with the drinking water protection tool can form an essential basis for the discussion on compensation payment for water services from forest management and provide a better communication between forest managers and water suppliers. However, the results of the tool are to be regarded rather as guidelines and should not be taken as absolutely.

An examination of the hydraulic characteristics of the Hooghly river with particular reference to the pattern of salinity intrusion and the effects of fresh water flows has been made in this contribution. It is seen that the conditions prevailing are such that during the brief period of fresh water flows the problem of salinity intrusion is absent. The beneficial effect of fresh water flows in improving the navigable depths along the river is also shown. The cessation of fresh water flows causes the deterioration of navigable depths due to the landward movement of sediment; it also results in the upstream encroachment of salinity affecting the supply of drinking water to the City of Calcutta. It has also been shown that even during the period in the freshet when the salinity profiles exist the estuary remains well-mixed. The need for augmentation of fresh water flows for improving the conditions has also been brought out. A few remarks on the comparative features of Hooghly and other tidal rivers have also been added to spotlight on the vastly different characteristics of the Hooghly.

<p>Aim of the study was to delineate an appropriate wide-ranging drinking water protection zone for the tapped main Walchhof spring, which is part of the public water supply of the small city of Radstadt in the region of Salzburg, Austria. The immediate hydrographic catchment area of the spring was geological mapped, various electric conductivity measurements at the river Taurach and its tributaries were carried out to detect potential high mineralised (SO<sub>4</sub>) karst water influx and fluorescence tracer tests were performed on the adjacent hydrographic catchment area above the tapped main spring. The Walchhof springs discharge approximate 500 L/s in a complex central-alpine setting within a tectonic window structure built of the Radstadt nappe with permeable carbonate rocks overthrusted by the Schladming-Seckau nappe with mostly non-permeable phyllite rocks. To identify the mean altitude of the catchment area and the Mean Residence Time (MRT) of the spring waters a combination of isotopes <sup>2</sup>H/<sup>18</sup>O, <sup>3</sup>H/<sup>3</sup>He, <sup>13</sup>C/<sup>14</sup>C and tracer gases (CFC, SF<sub>6</sub>) was analysed. The <sup>2</sup>H/<sup>18</sup>O-isotopes were analysed on weekly samples during 2019. <sup>3</sup>H/<sup>3</sup>He, <sup>13</sup>C/<sup>14</sup>C and (CFC, SF<sub>6</sub>) were sampled twice in April and October 2019.  The results indicate a wide-ranging hydrogeological catchment area (max. 90km<sup>2</sup>) at a mean altitude of 2000 ± 200 m and a mixture of old (10-20 yrs) and very old (several thousand years) waters. However, heavy rainfall and snow melt events can add (< 10%) very young water (MRT: days-weeks) to the tapped main Walchhof spring. The combination of these methods allows to reduce the wide-ranging drinking water protection zone mainly to the immediate hydrographic catchment area.</p>

Relevance. The study of the relationship between the dental morbidity of children in the city of Makhachkala from the anthropogenic impact of a landfill.Materials and methods. The study was based on a survey of children aged 2 to 17 years in three kindergartens and two schools in the city of Makhachkala in the zone of ecological distress. A total of – 420 children were examined, including – 85 of the temporary bite period; – 110 of the replacement bite period and 225 of the permanent bite period. The criteria for the selection of children were the duration of residence in this neighborhood and the presence of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th health groups. The dental examination included an assessment of the condition of the oral cavity, hard tooth tissues and periodontal tissues using a set of dental instruments according to a generally accepted technique.Results. Studies on the relationship of poor-quality drinking water with a reduced content of fluoride and the prevalence of non-carious lesions of the hard tissues of the teeth revealed that in the city of Makhachkala, a high prevalence of molarincisive enamel hypoplasia was detected in 45.4% of the examined and a multiple form in 31.6%% of systemic hypoplasia, local hypoplasia was noted in 22.1%, segmental hypoplasia was observed in only 4 children from 335 examined. The prevalence of diseases of the oral mucosa is due to a decrease in immunity in an environmentally unfavorable city, due to the unbalanced composition of macro and microelements in drinking water, high content of sulfur oxides, carbon and dioxin-like compounds in the air. The prevalence and development of caries was noted in 75% of the examined children.Conclusions. The high morbidity rate of the children's population in Makhachkala is associated with the anthropogenic impact of solid household waste, poor-quality drinking water, air and indicates the need to develop modern waste disposal technologies and implement recommendations for the organization of preventive and medical-dental care for children from an early age.

The Water Code of the Russian Federation, the Federal Law «On the Protection of Lake Baikal», the scheme of ecological zoning of the Baikal Natural Territory determine the legal grounds for the allocation of the Water Protection Zone of Lake Baikal, but it was not installed until 2015. The project of the water protection zone of the lake was developed by the RAS SB V.B. Sochava Institute of Geography, taking into account the natural conditions of the coastal area of the water body. The landscape-hydrological concept of the spatial organization was taken as a scientific basis for the allocation of the water protection zone of Lake Baikal. The dimensions of the water protection zone must ensure maximum protection of Lake Baikal from the pollutants with surface and ground runoff from adjacent coastal areas due to natural processes of self-purification in landscapes and soil-soil layers. The coastal territories of residential, industrial and recreational development represent the most transformed and contaminated zones, and are subject to the establishment of special environmental protection regimes for economic activities.
