The results of an analytical review of publications on the process of inactivation of pathogenic microorganisms in groundwater are considered. The process of inactivation is described by a mathematical model based on an exponential dependence. The values of the inactivation rate factor for a number of pathogenic microorganisms are given. Recommendations are given regarding formulas for determining the dependence of the inactivation rate factor of bacteria and viruses on water temperature.
