Armed conflicts disrupt social, ecological and economic processes. In connection with the Russian aggression, the water main that supplied water from the Dnipro River in the Kherson region to Mykolaiv was damaged, as a result of which the city was left without a stable system of centralized water supply. To study the level of water danger in the city of Mykolaiv during the wartime period, an original questionnaire was developed, which included questions aimed at determining the frequency of situations related to the risk of water use. It was determined that the level of water danger in the city was about 40%, which is a fairly high indicator and indicates significant risks associated with water use. Recommendations were developed that for a sustainable water supply of the city under the conditions of armed conflicts and emergency situations, there is an urgent need for the formation of a new water service system through the increase of sources of decentralized water supply and the creation of a reserve reservoir as a strategic water supply of the city.
