Lake Branesti is situated in the East of Bucharest and it is an integrant part of the reaches of Pasarea River. The purpose of this study is the analysis the abiotic factors: water and soil, in order to observe if the water of lake is still within the current quality norms and if the anthropogenic pressure caused major changes in this areal between 1960 and 2015.
The drawing of water and soil samples was carried out in March of 2015 at the Lake Branesti. The physico-chemical parameters of 12 samples were analysed, 8 for water and 4 for sail. The interpretation of the analysis bulletins has proven that 11 parameters were within the current legal norms, the only value that exceeded them being that of nitrates in the water as well as in the soil, geochemical explanations using the cycle of nitrogen of these parameters.
