Abstract

The purpose. Substantiation of necessity of achievement of comprehensible level of water safety of Ukraine as strategic purpose of national water policy. Methods. Analysis, synthesis, generalization. Results. Water safety consists in maintenance of equal right to drinking water and sanitary for each person. Ukraine is one of the least provided by own water resources countries in Europe by specific quantity of local flow. In shallow year it has for 1 inhabitant only 0,6 thousand m3, and in view of transit drainage — 1,2 thousand m3. Water availability with local water resources on separate areas of the state differs almost in 60 times. Accessible to use stocks of surface waters are non-uniformly distributed on territory. More than half of water resources are concentrated in basin of river Danube where the water needs do not exceed 5%. Use of potential of irrigation and drainage systems is extremely unsatisfactory: from available 2,17 million hectares of irrigated lands only 500 thousand hectares are actually watered, and 2-side regulation is carried out only for 250 thousand hectares of 3,2 million hectares of available sewed lands. In sector of aquatic ecosystems over-all regularity of process of deterioration of water of river drainages is registered. The problem of formation of appropriate state of water safety of Ukraine at legislative level is not settled and demands the further scientific substantiation and legal maintenance. Conclusions. State of water safety of Ukraine at national and sectoral levels is extremely unsatisfactory. Therefore achievement of due level of water safety of Ukraine is an overall objective of national water policy of Ukraine and should be fixed in «Water strategy of Ukraine». The main tool of achieving this purpose should become the integrated water resources management according to basin principle.
