Year, pages: 2013, 437 - 445

Poprad catchment was chosen as an area of interest. The aim of a paper is a population and land use impact on the water quality in the Poprad, Kežmarok and Stará Ľubovňa district according to Statistical Office of the Slovak Republic and Slovak Hydrometeorology Institute data sets. The water quality was evaluated in the years 1972-2011 from the three stations – Poprad – pod Svitom, Poprad – Veľká Lomnica and Poprad – Čirč. During the observed period the population increased in all districts with the minimum land use change. Decreasing trend of BOD5 as well as CODMn in the station Poprad – pod Svitom was noticed, in the stations Poprad – Veľká Lomnica and Poprad – Čirč the decreasing trend was minimum. Progress of N-NO3 and N-NH4 values was unstable and there was no visible decreasing or increasing trend of values.
