Tajikistan possesses abundant drinking water resources, most of which are surface waters. The water resources of the Republic of Tajikistan differ from those of other regions in their high quality, organoleptic properties, and chemical composition. The main advantage of groundwater in Tajikistan lies primarily in its ecological purity and its formation from glacial sources. However, the glaciers of Tajikistan are affected by aerosol and atmospheric pollution as well as other factors that degrade the quality of the water formed from them. To characterize the quality of drinking water in Tajikistan, it is essential to conduct research and study its chemical composition. Therefore, the topic of ecological and physicochemical characterization of the state of water resources in Tajikistan is both important and relevant. Water samples were collected from wells in the jamoats of Tezgaripoyon, Zarnisor, Jangalobod, Choryakkoron, Dekhonobod, and the Elok River. A total of 39 water samples were analyzed for isotopic composition during the research period and it was found that the lowest specific conductivity values were recorded in samples from the Kofarnigan River (249-320 µS/cm), while the highest values were recorded in samples from the Chorakkoron Jamoat (1758-2060 µS/cm). This fact can also be attributed to the high concentration of salts, influenced by anthropogenic factors in the Kofarnigan River basin.
