Abstract		On the territory of Slovenia there are 20 ground water fields (areas) with some more specific areas with ground water in karst and swamp. From 1987 Slovenia started with the monitoring of the whole fields beside the drinking water monitoring and today the monitoring is spread to almost all water fields. Twice a year water is analysed on over 165 most expected pollutants. In the first part of the paper are described the characteristics of water fields and an approach to the monitoring of ground water combined with sanitary control of drinking water. The second part of the paper deals with the growing problem of u nderground water pollution, caused by environmental contaimants of physical and chemical characteristics derived from industry, agriculture and communal environment. Special emphasis is on the most frequent pollutants like nitrates, chromium, chlorinated solvents, mineral oils and pesticides.
