2.3.1. Standards of Ecological Safety of Water Usage
To assess possibility of using water from water bodies for satisfaction of domestic and industrial
needs, standards are established, which ensure safe conditions of water usage, namely:
maximum allowable concentrations of substances in water bodies, water of which is used
for satisfaction of drinking, communal and other needs of population;
maximum allowable concentrations of substances in water bodies, water of which is used
for fishery needs;
permissible concentrations of radioactive substances in water bodies, water of which is
used for satisfaction of drinking, communal and other needs of population.
If necessary, more stringent standards of ecological safety of water usage could be established for
waters in water bodies that are used for healing, resort, health, recreational, and other purposes.
Standards of ecological safety of water usage are developed and approved by:
the Ministry of Health Protection of Ukraine and the National Commission on
Radioactive Protection of Population of Ukraine - for water bodies, water of which is
used to satisfy drinking, communal and other needs of population;
the Ministry of Fishery of Ukraine - for water bodies, water of which is used for needs of
fishery.
Standards of ecological safety of water usage are put into effect with agreement of the Ministry of
Environmental Protection and Nuclear Safety of Ukraine.
