%X The aim of this study is to investigate groundwater sources potentially suitable for pasture watering. This paper presents the results of studies of groundwater sources used for pasture watering. An analysis of the hydrochemical parameters of groundwater in the western region used for watering pasturelands was carried out. The article examines the state of pasture watering with groundwater in the West Kazakhstan, Atyrau, and Mangystau regions of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The hydrochemical analysis of water was carried out using chemical and physicochemical methods. The scientific and practical significance of the study lies in the fact that, under current conditions, fundamentally sound solutions are needed for the fullest possible use of aquifers for pasture watering, based on the study of the hydrodynamic characteristics of aquifer strata and advances in well drilling. The significance of the hydrogeological studies conducted on the water supply of pasture areas lies in the fact that restoration of the destroyed pasture water infrastructure and the wide use of explored groundwater reserves will make it possible to significantly increase the economic efficiency of transhumant livestock husbandry.
