Purpose of research was to study dynamics prevalence of diseases among children' population in the separate rural tacsons of Dnepropetrovsk region; to carry out correlation analysis between some indicators of drinking water quality and prevalence of diseases. Research indicators of prevalence of diseases was carried out in the 6 types of tacsons of Dnipropetrovsk region (Ukraine) during 2008 - 2013 years (totally 522720 indicators). It was proved that (I, II, III, XI, XIII, XIV) classes of diseases takes the first place by the prevalence of diseases in the majority of rural tacsons. Correlation between higher salt content of the potable water taking from decentralized sources and content of some heavy metals (Zn, Cu, Mn) and some substances (pH, F, Al, nitrogen ammonia, nitrites, nitrates, oxidability) and the prevalence of diseases among children: tumors (r=0.87); diseases of blood and hematopoetic organs (r=0.74-0.95); anemia (r=0.79-0.87); diseases of genitourinary system (r=0.79-0.82); congenital anomalies (r=0.87), including circulatory system (r=0.74-0.95) was revealed in the separate tacsons of Dnepropetrovsk region (p<0.001).
