Abstract
The quality assessment of the aquatic environment from some freshwater resources situated in Bucharest and Ilfov County - Romania has been performed in an extended study and data obtained will be presented in several papers. This first paper presents a case study on water quality assessment of the Mogosoaia, Herastrau and Pantelimon Lakes, lakes built on the Colentina River. Two water and sediment sampling campaigns were conducted in the summer and autumn 2016, 29 specific parameters were determined for water samples and heavy metals content for sediment samples. The obtained results for water samples allowed the classification of lakes water in quality classes and the heavy metals values for sediments were compared to the standards of chemical quality, according to the national legislation M.O. 161/2006. Furthermore, for an overview of water quality, the Water Quality Index (WQI) method was used, where the indicators were grouped into two categories: the first category took into account 18 quality parameters (WQI-1) and the second considered heavy metals content (WQI-2).

The present case study is focused on the quality assessment of the waters and sediments from Mogosoaia, Herastrau and Pantelimon II Lakes, lakes built on the Colentina River, the first two located in Bucharest and the last in Ilfov County
The assessment of the water quality sampled from the established sampling sections for the three lakes and the classification in quality classes was performed according to the national legislation [11]
Summary
The quality assessment of the aquatic environment from some freshwater resources situated in Bucharest and Ilfov County - Romania has been performed in an extended study and data obtained will be presented in several papers. The present case study is focused on the quality assessment of the waters and sediments from Mogosoaia, Herastrau and Pantelimon II Lakes, lakes built on the Colentina River, the first two located in Bucharest and the last in Ilfov County. The first stage of water and sediments quality assessment study was the two sampling campaigns conducted in July 2016 (CI) and September 2016 (CII), respectively.
