The problems of potable quality groundwater pollution have now become one of the most important on the Earth. According to UN, about 2 billion people currently lack access to drinking water. Climatic change and increased negative impact of anthropogenic factors significantly affected the quality of water resources. Groundwater is the main source for drinking and other domestic purposes. Many developing regions of the world suffer from shortage of safe drinking water. Basically, the main reason is that due to globa...

The problem of supplying drinking water to population of Mangisstau and West-Kazakhstan regions is especially sensitive as the region is located in semidesert zone, water resources are limited. Development of the region natural resources, creation of sufficient conditions for economy intensive development requires large quantities of quality water. Worsening of sanitation-and-epidemiological situation, unsatisfactory technical state of water-supply systems, as well as gradual contamination and salinity of water so...

The paper considers the causes of freshwater scarcity and its worsening, and gives recommendations for the prevention, remediation and mitigation of climate change negative effects on groundwater. Wet technology sectors have been developed rapidly in the global market. Currently, there is already a clear increase in freshwater scarcity. According to the UN, over 1.2 billion people live under constant growth of freshwater scarcity, and FAO predicts that the number of those living in water scarcity conditions will e...

The purpose of the investigation is to study environmental problems in the territory of South Kazakhstan and the state of drinking groundwater. In this paper, we consider environmental problems on the territory of 4 regions of Ka-zakhstan (South Kazakhstan, Zhambyl, Almaty, Kyzylorda), in particular, the city of Taraz, Shymkent and Almaty, through which the Great Silk Road passed. All these cit-ies belong to the most ecologically polluted cities of the Republic of Kazakhstan [1-8]. In the South Kazakhstan region (...

Assessment of changes in hydrogeological conditions of groundwater deposits under climatic effect and human impact requires in-depth study. It especially concerns groundwater deposits of drinking quality. Providing drinking water to the population of large cities and most of the medium-size and small populated areas of Kazakhstan is based on these changes. The UN carries out special control and analysis of the state of drinking water supply to people around the world, which, unfortunately, testifies to the catastr...
