ABSTRACT. The monitoring of the physico-chemical parameters of Crişul Repede River. The aim of this work was to study the anthropogenic influence on surface waters quality. 130 surface water samples were collected from various sites from Crişul Repede River for 10 months (February 2013-November 2013). A portable multiparameter model WTW 320i was used to determine the physico-chemical parameters such as: temperature, pH, electrical conductivity (EC), total dissolved solids (TDS), oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) and salinity of the collected water samples. The analysed parameters did not present values above the maximum admissible limit according to the Romanian Water Law (161/2006).
