The study presents data concerning the water pollution status of Siret hydrographical basin (i.e. surface and ground waters, lakes) in Suceava County area (different controlling/monitoring sections) due to agricultural productive activities, especially regarding some quality indicators (nitrogen-based nutrient concentrations) evaluated for 2008. These data are recommending the necessity of continuous monitoring of water quality in the Siret River hydrographical basin, in all existing control sections, for identification of any pollution episodes, non-reported by polluters to the local environmental regulators.
