The review presents the results of studies on the existing problems in the sanitary condition of Tajikistan’s surface water bodies related to its pollution by waste and sewage from settlements, industrial and agricultural enterprises. Due to the weak development of centralized water supply, a significant part of the population of Tajikistan is forced to use surface water for household and drinking needs, as a result of which, for many years, the republic has been a region of the incidence of acute intestinal infections, mainly in rural areas. In order to carry out measures for the sanitary protection of water bodies, the introduction of modern technologies for the neutralization and disinfection of waste and effluents from human and animal life, as well as the disposal of household waste having not only sanitary and hygienic, but also environmental significance is everywhere required.

Keywords: Surface water ponds, water quality, water pollution, acute intestinal infections, sanitary protection of water ponds.
