Study of Environmental Aspects of Water Resources Management

Water holds a special place among the natural resources of the Earth. It is well known that there is no more precious resource than water, without which life is impossible. The aim of the study is to develop an approach to organizing water management systems in river basins, both at the national level and for individual water bodies. The research presents findings on the most pressing environmental issue related to water resources, water conservation, increasing ecological safety, and protecting surface water and reservoirs from aggressive pollution. In this regard, the study focuses on the development of organizational and technical measures aimed at preventing the negative consequences of the current situation and ensuring water savings. This is achieved through the implementation of water recirculation systems and replenishment of water reserves. For Kazakhstan, which has the lowest river runoff on the planet and suffers from water shortages, water-related issues remain one of the key limiting factors for development in many sectors. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the creation of a modern ozone-based water treatment system. For testing the system, surface water was collected from reservoirs experiencing ecological distress, followed by expert sampling to identify the main pollutants affecting these water bodies. Additionally, the study addressed key objectives, such as assessing the ecological state of water resources and developing proposals to achieve sustainable water use. These measures primarily require a transformation of the water resource management system and enhanced protection of water bodies from wastewater pollution. The study also proposes measures to reduce water pollution and explores natural water purification methods for sustainable development and the preservation of a favorable environment.
