The issue of safety and quality of drinking water is relevant at the level of each administrative unit and the state as a whole. The ecological state of surface waters and the quality indicators of the water in them are decisive factors for the sanitary and epidemiological well-being of the population. There is an urgent need to improve drinking water preparation and supply technologies. The important problems that need to be solved include: the unsatisfactory emergency state of water supply networks, the lack of experts in their technical maintenance; contamination of wells and untimely implementation of preventive measures by the owners.
The sixth goal of sustainable development of Ukraine "Clean water and proper sanitary conditions" declares that every resident of our country should have access to safe drinking water. Water quality should be improved by minimizing pollution, reducing untreated discharges, and increasing levels of safe reuse of water resources. Drinking water must be safe in terms of epidemics and radiation.
The article defines and substantiates the indicators that should be used to develop an assessment of the transition of rural communities to sustainable development. The authors identified the main problems associated with the evaluation of such processes and outlined the tasks of further scientific research in this direction. Theoretical and analytical research methods are used in the work. An analysis of the results of monitoring studies on the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals in 2021 was performed.
Priority indicators and approaches for evaluating the processes of the transition of rural communities to sustainable development using statistical data are presented.
