Abstract: In conditions of highly developed industry and a large number of people in the Donbass, a large amount of water is used daily. The water resources of the region are actively used by the water management complex, which is characterized by a high population density and a high level of industrial development, represented by water-intensive and environmentally hazardous industries, which, against the background of low water supply with local runoff, requires balanced management decisions to create conditions for permanent water supply to industrial enterprises. The use of significant amounts of water resources for production needs, pollution of surface and underground sources by industrial and agricultural effluents and industrial waste cause great harm to water bodies, lead to depletion of water sources and loss of the ability to self-clean. The discharge of a large amount of untreated wastewater, as well as the long-term accumulation of pollutants in the bottom sediments led to the fact that most of the water bodies of the region belong to the category of dirty and very dirty.
Keywords: water resources, wastewater disposal, pollutants, purification methods.
