Reservoirs and ponds belong to specific objects of water resources. Most reservoirs and ponds are of anthropogenic origin. They are of special importance for the Lviv region due to its terrestrial properties. In modern conditions, the importance of reservoirs and ponds is growing significantly. This is due to the fact that in many areas they form nuclei around which recreational complexes are formed. Reservoirs and ponds play an important role in the health and recreation of people. They are created by man to regulate runoff for commercial use of surface waters. The use of artificial reservoirs – reservoirs and ponds is carried out mainly depending on the water content and economic specialization of the regions. Therefore, it is very important to determine the quality of water in the ponds of Lviv region to establish ways of its further use. Recently, the problem of water enrichment with nutrients due to anthropogenic activity, which contributes to the growth of bioproducts of algae and other mass forms of aquatic organisms, has become especially acute. The article considers the rates of Lviv district of Krotoshyn village (№ 1, № 2) and Zhyrivka village (№ 3). The aim of the work was to determine the qualitative assessment of pond waters of Lviv region and the study of phytoplankton biomass and to determine the prospects for its use. The experimental part of the research was performed in the production laboratory at vul. Stryjska, 18a. The material for the research was water samples. The results of the analysis were compared with the list of maximum permissible concentrations (MPC) of harmful substances in water bodies in accordance with Order № 400 of 12.05.2010 on approval of State Sanitary Norms and Rules “Hygienic requirements for drinking water intended for human consumption” DSanPiN 2.2. 4-171-10). According to research, the water in the pond in the village of Zhyrivka turned out to be very dirty. Dirty water was in pond № 2 in the village of Krotoshin and polluted in the same village in pond № 1. The water in the ponds in the village of Krotoshin was pure in color. The water in the pond in the village of Zhyrivka was polluted, green and yellow. The highest pH level with a value of 8.8 was in the water pond in the village of Zhirivka, although it should be noted that this figure was quite high in the other two studied ponds. The lowest concentration of oxygen was in the pond in the village of Zhyrivka, the phosphate content was normal only in the water of the pond № 1 in the village of Krotoshyn. The largest amount of phytoplankton biomass was found in the village of Zhyrivka (pond № 3), which indicates pollution and “blooming” of the reservoir. This biomass can be used directly as an effective organo-mineral fertilizer.

This study deals with the potential use of water stored in a lake formed by Reocín’s old zinc mine, which has become the second most important reservoir in Cantabria, with a flow of 1300 L s−1. The methodology used is based on the hydrogeological and hydrochemical characterization of the area studied. A total of 16 piezometers were installed to monitor the amount and quality of water. Results obtained show a pH close to 8 and iron, manganese, zinc, and sulphate concentrations lower than 0.05 mg L−1, 0.05 mg L−1, 1.063 mg L−1, and 1305.5 mg L−1, respectively. The volume of the water stored in the lake amounts to 34 hm3. Measurements show that Fe, Mn, and Zn concentrations are below the limits acceptable for human consumption, according to the Spanish 0.2, 0.05, and 5.0 mg L−1 standards, respectively, while sulphate greatly exceeds the 250 mg L−1 limit accepted by the norm. Therefore, the water could be apt for human consumption after a treatment appropriate for decreasing the sulphate level by, for example, reverse osmosis, distillation, or ion exchange. Although industrial and energy uses are possible, the lake water could be utilized as a geothermal energy source. The management of the hydric resources generated when a mine is closed could improve the economic and environmental conditions of the zone, with all the benefits it brings about, thus allowing for compensating of the pumping cost that environmental protection entails, creating, at the same time, a new business opportunity for the company that owns the mine.

Introduction: Safe water is a precondition for health and development and is a basic human right, yet it is still denied to hundreds of millions of people throughout the developing world. Water-related diseases caused by insufficient safe water supplies, coupled with poor sanitation and hygiene, cause 3.4 million deaths a year, mostly in children. Methodology: The present study was conducted on 1,317 drinking water samples from various water sources in Amritsar district in northern India. All the samples were analyzed to assess bacteriological quality of water for presumptive coliform count by the multiple tube test. Results: A total of 42.9% (565/1,317) samples from various sources were found to be unfit for human consumption. Of the total 565 unsatisfactory samples, 253 were from submersible pumps, 197 were from taps of piped supply (domestic/public), 79 were from hand pumps, and 36 were from various other sources A significantly high level of contamination was observed in samples collected from submersible pumps (47.6%) and water tanks (47.3%), as these sources of water are more exposed and liable to contamination. Conclusions: Despite continuous efforts by the government, civil society, and the international community, over a billion people still do not have access to improved water resources. Bacteriological assessment of all sources of drinking should be planned and conducted on regular basis to prevent waterborne dissemination of diseases.
