abstract: Improper animal manure storage is one of the most dangerous sources of water contamination by nutrients – mostly nitrogen and phosphorus compounds. It is quite a common situation in Poland caused by farmers’ insufficient awareness and knowledge about proper manure handling and storage. The investigations were carried out in the years 1998-2001 on the upper part of Krzekna river basin at Kartno and Żelisławiec. Those are unit villages with concentrated building and thanks that with a high concentration of pollutants. In 1997 in both villages slurry tanks and dung plates were built. Sampling points were placed on 5 farms with and without objects for animal waste handling. Nitrogen forms (ammonium and nitrates), phosphates and potassium were analysed in ground water.
