The investigation was carried out on the chemical composition of water in six Quaternary springs with a discharge of 0.5-3.6 L s-1 in catchment basins of various land use within the area of the town. The highest average concentration of dissolved compounds and major ions was recorded in springs in urbanized catchments where the concentrations of sodium and potassium were 5 times and of nitrates 7 times greater than in forested basins. Periodical oxygen deficiencies occurred, manifesting increasing pollution in ground waters and, indirectly, in surface waters.
