Groundwater pollution is a serious environmental problem in Ukraine, where groundwater is used for drinking, industrial, and agricultural purposes. Compliance with hygienic requirements for water quality is especially important during wartime, as underground water is a strategic source of drinking water for the population. Therefore, effective groundwater monitoring and management are crucial for ensuring Ukraine's ecological safety. To address water pollution, continuous monitoring of water quality is necessary, especially near industrial facilities and landfills for solid household waste. However, the existing monitoring systems in Ukraine are not always effective, and complete and accurate information about the state of groundwater is not always available. To effectively manage water resources, it is necessary to consider the possibility of creating an integrated monitoring system that combines various methods and technologies to obtain more complete information about the state of water resources and manage them effectively. An overview of the problem of groundwater pollution in Ukraine was conducted, and the existing methods of groundwater monitoring were analyzed, with their advantages and disadvantages established. The current state of groundwater monitoring in Ukraine was also considered. A brief description of the Integrated Groundwater Monitoring System was presented, and its role in effective groundwater management and the prevention of water pollution was discussed. The possibility of using the Integrated Monitoring System in Ukraine was also considered. It was proposed to use monitoring sensors that measure the parameters of water seeping from the aeration zone to the saturation zone in real-time mode. In conclusion, the role of the Integrated Groundwater Monitoring System in solving the problem of water pollution was emphasized, and recommendations were made for its implementation in practice. Further prospects for research in the field of groundwater monitoring in Ukraine were also outlined.
