Abstract		A few years ago we began monitoring the groundwater in Slovenia, throught the analysis of certain chemical paramters. For this groundwater we established that it was of relatively good quality, althrought there was an emerging trend of declining quality in terms of certain measured parameters. On the basis of these results we decided to start measuring and monitoring drinking water by taking samples at a specific outlet. Our first analyses were focused on the content of certain carcinogenic substances, and then on the content of certain pesticides. We wished to set up monitoring around the whole country, so systematic sampling was started at outlets in each region. We set out the results of measuring over three years, and a presentation is given of the evaluation of the impact these parameters have on public health.
