Abstract
The review of research on problems of protection of groundwater from pollution is presented. The need for an intensive study of the drinking groundwater quality changes in the 1950s was associated with the water consumption rise and an increase in the discharge coming from the untreated wastewaters. It was not until 10 or 15 years afterwards that the world drew its attention to the lost oil products as specific pollutants of the underground hydrosphere. In the 80’s and 90’s the occurrences of finding the hidden oil products in the soil layer have become more frequent. The Department of Groundwater Protection of the Institute of Geological Sciences of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine took a direct part in the investigation of many such sites. From 2013 until 2017, the framework of NATO’s Program on “Science for Peace and Security” implemented a project to equip the military unit with a modern remediation system for oil pollution extraction from the subsoil. This is the first international project implemented in Ukraine, which aims at bringing the territory of military site contaminated by oil products at a safe state.
