Abstract: For the first time, a hydrochemical and sanitary-microbiological examination of the spring waters of Nakhunao community of Martvil municipality was conducted. The content of Mg2+, Ca2+, HCO3 -, Cl- ions and total iron were determined. Oxygen, carbon(IV) content, oxidizability and dry balance were also studied. Relatively simple and fast chemical and physico-chemical methods with good reproducibility were selected for determination. Biogenic substances were determined by the photometric method. Sanitary-microbiological examinations were carried out by the following methods: mesophilic aerobes and facultative anaerobes: МУК, 2.1.4 1184-03, Total coliform bacteria – МУК 4.2. 1018-01 and Escherichia coli – 18963-73. Based on the data of the experiment, it was determined that the waters of the research source are low in mineralization, which is why their reaction is almost neutral. The content of the above-mentioned ions in the studied spring waters is within the norm. In all samples (mesophilic aerobes and facultative anaerobes, common coliform bacteria) a limit concentration of microbiological pollution was determined, which is harmless to human health and its use for drinking and agricultural purposes is within the norm.

Key words: spring water, Nakhunao community, Martvili municipality.
