The aim of the present study was to evaluate the spatial distribution of concentrations of some elements in shallow ground waters as well as to find the main sources of their origin. The investigations were carried out in 8 villages in Podlasie region. The water sampling sites were in the villages Sobótka, Narew, Ciełuszki, Kaniuki, Zawyki, Uhowo, Topilec, and Złotoria, all on or near the Narew River. Water samples were collected in spring, summer, and autumn of 2006. The samples underwent determinations of calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, zinc, and iron concentrations by means of AAS and EAS techniques after previous filtering through micro-pore filters (d=0.45 pm). None of the tested water samples met the standards for potable water specified in the Decree of the Ministry for Health of 2007 as they exceeded permissible concentrations of iron ions. Regarding potassium ions, the well waters were classified to underground waters quality class V. The waters with the highest values of the tested parameters were found in wells in Kaniuki, Złotoria and Zawyki.
