description The long period of military action in Ukraine has revealed a number of problems associated with the stable functioning of a modern centralized water supply system in emergency situations. Considering the high potential risks of damage from massive weapons to urban agglomerations with a high population density and infrastructure facilities within residential areas, reliable supply of drinking water to the social structure is one of the most important factors in the life support of the population. The results of the analysis and generalization of geological, hydrogeological and hydrochemical data for five cities of Ukraine with a population of 217,700 inhabitants (Kremenchuk) to 981,000 inhabitants (Dnipro), located within the Ukrainian Shield, are presented. The availability of their approved operational groundwater reserves or forecast resources is determined. For local water supply of these cities, it is necessary to attract from 1500 to 6900 m³/day of groundwater and surface water. Recommendations are provided for the creation of an extensive system of local (pump-station) water supply in case of extraordinary natural and man-made events in particular the introduction of martial law. The research is funded by the National Academy Sciences of Ukraine. Their implementation is planned for 2023–2025. The reliability of drinking water supply in cities is increased by creating a branched system of pump-station water supply with autonomous power supply of pumps and portable water purification systems where necessary. When assessing and subsequently designing and constructing pumpstations, depending on the type of development, we can proceed from estimates that for 2–5 thousand people in a microdistrict, from 10 to 35 m³ of water per day is required, with a reserve of up to 50 m³. Local water supply of the cities of Zaporizhzhia, Kryvyi Rih, Dnipro, Zhytomyr and Kremenchuk should be based on the use of surface water with partial involvement of groundwater.
