ABSTRACT
The results of comparative evaluation of chemical composition and surface and groundwater quality (pollution level) of the Eastern Donbas by hydrochemical parameters are presents in the article. The same set of typomorphic polluting components (Na+K, Ca, Mg, SO4, Fe, Al, Be, Li, Mn, Cu) was identified.
The investigated surface and groundwater have the same level of contamination by total factor of pollution. The close relationship between the surface and ground hydrosphere within the Eastern Donbas and the essential role of technogenic mine water in the formation of their quality was shown.
