description The water quality of drinking water: physico-chemical and microbiological safety of the individual wells from the Dubravica village was investigated with the methods recommended by Regulations of hygienic quality of drinking water. The method of indirect determinations was used for testing the content of heavy metals in drinking water based on the scale sedimented on the house water heater. The scale was exanimated with scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) and the method of thermogravimetric (TG) and differential thermal analysis (DTA). Physico-chemical and microbiological examinations have shown that the drinking water from individual wells are completely safe for use. The results of heavy metals contents showed that the indirect method is more precise and more reliable because it can detect the concentration of heavy metals (in the examined samples of Cd and Pb) that are below the threshold of detection by classical methods of water analysis. This is very important because, in this way, the use of heavy metals is monitored in long period of time and it can prevent potential effects on human health. The uranium content is below the allowed value prescribed by law, but the method of fractional extraction points to its anthropogenic origin.
