Abstract

Modern water supply of urban and rural population of the North Kazakhstan region is based on surface and underground waters. An assessment of the use of groundwater and surface water resources was carried out from the perspective of effective use in conditions of existing scarcity. Solving the problems of the efficiency of obtaining, distribution and rational consumption, together with the inventory and commissioning of underground deposits, will provide a basis for meeting the needs of the local population in drinking water.
