Summary

Introduction

North Banat of about 2329 km in area is the northeastern part of the Vojvodina Province that occupies southeastern margine of the Pannonian depression (Fig. 1). An organized public water supply in North Banat began in the sixties of the 20th century. Sources of the domestic and industrial water supplies are confined aquifers about 160 m to 300 m deep. Water of “uncommon” composition is the only potable water in the semi-arid area of Kikinda. What causes the extraordinary chemical composition of pumped water is probably the character of the water-bearing strata. Notwithstanding the efforts to find the cause of the uncommon chemical composition of the water, its many explanations are only hypothetical. An essential characteristic is the high organic content of natural origin (Čukić et al, 1987, 1994)
