Abstract


The purpose of this work is to identify the action of contaminants on groundwater by determining the
physical quality indicators of groundwater related to the site located in Baciu Commune, Cluj County. The
smallest variations in temperature values, depending on the sampling area, highlight the tendency of this
parameter to become uniform at depths greater than 10 m.
Regardless of the depth, the minimum temperature values are related to the samples taken from the west
direction, and the maximum to those taken from the south direction. This suggests the influence of terrain
positioning on temperature levels. The groundwater conductivity determined according to the sampling
depths has values in the ranges of 2.5 mS – 2.9 mS at a depth of 5 m, 62.6 mS – 3 mS at a depth of 7 m and
2.6 mS – 3, 1 mS at a depth of 10 m. Regarding turbidity, depending on the sampling depths, it presents
values in the ranges of 0.85 UNT - 1 UNT at a depth of 5 m, 1 UNT - 1.4 UNT at a depth of 7 m and 1.3 UNT
and 1.7 UNT at the depth of 10 m.
