Reservoir water is an important source of drinking water in an increasingly scarce world. An adequate integrated assessment of water quality from the point of view of its suitability for human use therefore remains a pressing issue. The purpose of this work is to assess water quality using nano-filtration methods, using the example of the Shardara reservoir, their suitability for human consumption. The main advantage of nano-filtration methods is the production of better-quality water without harmful bacteriological and microbial contamination. In 2022 and 2023, the territory of Shardara (Turkestan Oblast, Kazakhstan) conducted a detailed complex analysis of water quality, 6,000 samples, 3,000 each in 2022 and 2023. The following methods were used: measurement of potential salinity, Determination of the water permeability index, sodium, magnesium adsorption coefficients, and microelement content, cation and anionic composition. The results showed that the main pollutants of the Shardara reservoir in the studied region were sulphates, nitrites, copper and magnesium. Sulphate content 548 mg/l (5.5 MPC), nitrite 0.028 mg/l (1.4 MPC), copper 0.003 mg/l (3.0 MPC) and magnesium 71.5 mg/l (1.8 MPC). The water pollution index was 1.97. The data obtained were compared with the register of cardiovascular morbidity and oncology cases, and a positive correlation (0.75) was obtained between the location of the reservoir and the registration of diseases. A comprehensive analysis of the indicators of the complex composition of the water and the disease (oncology, cardiovascular system, digestive organs) in the population is proposed.
