Abstract

INDEX OF UNDERGROUND WATER POLLUTION WITH NITRATES: SPRINGS AND PUMPS IN THE NISTRU BASIN 

Assessing the springs and pumps water quality (in the Nistru basin) it was found that in most of the districts there are sources of unpolluted water (8-58%), poorly polluted (10-56%) and moderately polluted (4-42%) waters with nitrates. Springs with significantly polluted water were found in Causeni district (33%) and with very significant pollution were identified in Ialoveni districts (26%), Anenii Noi (20%), Criuleni (15%), Rezina (14%) and Soldanesti (12%) districts, demonstrating the impact of the landfills on the accumulation of nitrates in the groundwater. 

Keywords: groundwater, nitrates, pollution index, correlation with sources of pollution.
