Abstract: The research carried out on artificial lakes Vârșolț, Moftin, Adrian and Călinești Oaș, located in North-West Romania targeted the water chemical analysis. Based on the achieved results we can estimate the possibility for these lakes to provide resources in order to support stable bird population starting from the premises that the ecosystems in balanced are characterized by high diversity, quantitatively and qualitatively stable. From the list of water physical-chemical indicators, we stopped only to those which are at the grounds of the analysis of the lakes natural resources, thus being able to appreciate the nutritional potential. It resulted after this analysis that the analysed lakes, even having an aspect close to natural with vegetation borders on significant areas, do not ensure quality and diversified chemical natural resource for the bird population due to the chemical quality of the water which is a modest one. The natural resource of these lakes may lead to bio-accumulation of toxic substances in various species of these artificial ecosystems, which this research proved.
