STATE OF WATER RESOURCES IN LUGANSK REGION
Lugansk State Medical University, Lugansk, Ukraine

Lugansk region has not enough water resources. Water availability of territory and population of region by common water resources in 1.65 times and local in 2 times lower than the average in Ukraine. Per one inhabitant in the region, depending on dryness of year, is from 0.16 to 0.5 thousand m3/year (compare with 1.01 thousand m3/year on the average in the State).

The main surface source of fresh water on the territory of region is the Seversky Donets river - transboundary water object and Mius river. Territory of rivers’ basins within the Lugansk region has great anthropogenic pressure.

Providing water population of region in required volume become complicated because of poor water quality in water objects. By chemical and bacterial contamination of water most of them were classified as polluted (4 class of quality).

There is a steady tendency of declining water diversion and using of fresh water in Lugansk area during the last decade. Using of water in recycling systems and re-consistent water supply is 2.550 million m3; saving fresh water - 95%. The most intensive use of water is in the Lugansk city and Lysychansk-Rubizhansk industrial region, the most intensive pollution of surface water takes place in Sverdlovsk-Rovenkivsk and Krasnolutsk-Antratsitovsk industrial regions, and also in Lysychansk-Rubizhansk region and Lugansk city.
