One of the key issues and problems of the living standard of the inhabitants in the Aral Sea region is that of a safe drinking water supply system. This problem is especially urgent for the population of the remote villages, as people living in these villages have to use water for drinking purposes from shallow wells and boreholes. As the physical conditions of the groundwater are characterized by high salinity, the problem of a safe potable water supply has become very important.
