Abstract

Integrated criterion for sustainability evaluation of water use in Ukraine is developed. The
criterion is based on the economic (GDP), environmental (water use, wastewater treatment)
and social indicators (population, water consumption). Current situation of water use and
wastewater treatment in all regions of Ukraine has been analyzed. Influences of
environmental, economic and social indexes of water use sustainability for every region of
Ukraine have been estimated. Critical points of water use sustainability improvement for
every region have been found.
