Polluted water from many water‐supply stations of the Ukraine gets into surface water bodies, trenches and ponds. Such water contains chlororganic compounds and coagulants that fail to biodegrade and get into the human body within the nutrition chain and are harmful for human health.The results of the carried out research have been applied in designing new water‐supply stations which use sludge degreasing and in reducing the amounts of pollutants emitted into surface water bodies.
