ABSTRACT This work deals with a part of the treatment activity of the rivers from our district. This paper presents information about an installation for keeping petroleum products, placed on the discharging channels from two big refineries, out of two major rivers. Its efficiency and how it should be located will be shown. The impact of those installations on the Prahova and Teleajen rivers has been studied in systematic laboratory analyses; the results are shown in graphs. Also presented is the method for retaining suspensions derived from the Valea Calugareasca Chemical Works. The results obtained during a year are shown in graph.

KEYWORDS: surface water clean-up
