Results of surface water and groundwater Pollution sources identification in the Biała Przemsza river basin (Southen Poland), by means of factor analysis are presented. Possible influsnceof the atmospheric deposition of heavy metals on groundwater quality was assessed using relative retention parameters of the metals in the top soil layer. Results of estimation of point and diffuse sources of heavy metals (Cd, Pb, Zn) apportion in pollution of the basin, basing on analysis of load-river discharge and concentration-discharge relationships are presented as well. Furhter analysis of the load versus river descharge regression functions allowed to calculate heavy matels concentrations in runoff alements. The paper contains also environment characteristics (mainly groundwater and surface water environments), and schematic model of heavy metals cycle in the examined basin.
