Summary/Abstract: On the basis of the existing examination results of the hygrological conditions, literature and the author's field research 15 points were chosen for taking water samples to determine, by laboratory tests, their macro- and microcomposition. Altogether 37 hydrochemical elements were determined to supply documentary evidence for a possible influence of the industrial effiuents upon the water quality. It was found that damming the flow from the water regionnear the overflow in Nowy Ludwików (fig. l) made redox potential reduction which leads to a decay process intensification.The participation of the basic components, which gives the water its hydrochemical type, is stable and of similar composition in each of the samples analysed. Nitrite nitrogen concentration is one of the elements which can testify to possible anthropogenic efTects. Inspite of the man's economic activity the total evaluation of the water quality supplying the Niebieskie źródła Springs is very high.
