Assessment of groundwater quality changes in the aquifers of the Dniprovsko-Donetskyi artesian basin

According to the Water Framework Directive methodological documents, identification of only two classes of groundwater quality – “good” and “bad”, is provided. Obviously, these two gradations are insufficient for assessing and mapping of water quality changes. Therefore, for this purpose, the approa...

Assessment of groundwater quality changes in the aquifers of the Dniprovsko-Donetskyi artesian basin
description According to the Water Framework Directive methodological documents, identification of only two classes of groundwater quality – “good” and “bad”, is provided. Obviously, these two gradations are insufficient for assessing and mapping of water quality changes. Therefore, for this purpose, the approaches defined in the National Standard of Ukraine “Sources of Centralized Drinking Water Supply. Hygienic and Environmental Requirements for Water Quality and Selection Rules” (SSTU 4808:2007), which proposes the division of groundwater in terms of chemical composition into four classes: excellent, good, satisfactory and mediocre, were applied. The article discusses the results of assessing the groundwater quality using an original methodology that allows assessing the quality of groundwater of different age aquifers and at different intervals, as well as predicting the direction of their changes over time. The authors have created hydrogeochemical maps characterizing the quality of the Quaternary aquifer water within the Dniprovsko-Donetskyi artesian basin (DDAB) in different periods of time according to the methodology justified by the National Standard of Ukraine “Sources of Centralized Drinking Water Supply.
