The purpose of this paper is to monitor the content of nitrogen compounds (nitrates, nitrites and ammonium ions ) of surface water taken from the Timis river. Were collected quarterly water samples from six checkpoints on the main course of the river, Slatina- Timis Caransebes, Lugoj, Gavojdia, Cebza, Graniceri points uniformly distributed between the springs and the exit point of the river, namely the border with Serbia. Framing control points on the river Timis river in quality classes highlights 3 superior sections qualitatively corresponding to I category quality. Control points Slatina- Timis , Lugoj and Caransebes shows low levels of nitrogen compounds which indicates high water quality on this section . Control points Gavojdia and Cebza register values of nitrogen compounds within the tolerances level of quality l, II and III. This section shows the trend of average pollution coming from diffuse pollution and from the natural sources. Graniceri checkpoint that collects wastewater from livestock represents the Timis river section with the highest level of nitrogen.
