Abstract :Zvecan is a mining industrial region in the north of Kosovo. In addition, other industrial sectors have developed. Unfortunately the region is very much polluted. The source is industrial activity (exploitation of mineral resources and ferrous metallurgy, and other chemical industry). The present paper aims to investigate pollution level in Zvecan and raise public awareness. In the end recommendations with regard to pollution monitoring process and other measures are made. Some water samples have been collected from 2014 to 2015 and analyzed. The results reported contaminated water. As it can be seen, the main purpose of this study was to identify physical and chemical characteristics of drinking water in some villages in the municipality of Zvecan. On the other hand, local authority need to take urgent measures to improve situation and to offer for the exposed population living in the vicinity of the pollution source, other source of drinking water for personal and community usage.Keywords : pollution, contamination, monitoring, mining, industry
