Ecological Features of a Country House Water Supply

Abstract

Considered the most frequently used sources of autonomous water supply of a country house – manhole and well. It is shown that the chemical composition of natural water in these structures does not meet the requirements of SaNPiN 2.1.4.1175-02 and varies over time. The reasons for the change in the water quality in the manhole and the well and the ways to solve the problem are listed. The factors affecting the water quality in the manhole and the well are indicated – the characteristic of the water of the aquifer and the arrangement of the structures. The conclusion was made that it is impossible to make the optimal choice between a manhole or a well for the environmentally acceptable water supply of a country house for the quality of water in each of the water intakes. A comparative assessment of the manhole and the well is given for a number of indicators in order to optimize the choice between them.
