Lakes are part of the local rainwater drainage system . Industrial water is discharged from enterprises and residential buildings in the Shevchenkovsky, Podolsky, Obolonsky districts. According to the sanitary epidemiological station and the Institute of Hydrobiology of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine , the water in the lakes has chemical and bacteriological pollution. Officially swimming in these lakes is prohibited.

Swimming in it is allowed, the beach is equipped [3] . The lake and the adjacent coastal strip make up the territory of the vernal reserve “ Verbnoe Lake ”.
