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.
