    The presented paper contains the results of the study of water environment of Malinówka River in which catchment the municipal waste disposal site has been located. The subject of investigation was the distribution of heavy metals: Cd, Cr, Cu, Pb and Zn between water and bottom sediments. The interpretation of that distribution has been done on the base of physicochemical characteristics of water determined as pH, EC (electrical conductivity) and concentration of anions: $F^{-}$, $Cl^{-}$, $NO_{3}^{-}$, $SO_{4}^{2-}$ and $PO_{4}^{3-}$. It was found that the substandard concentrations show in water Pb, Cu and all anions. Concentration of Zn, Cd, Cr as well as pH are as high as those in water of the lst or 2nd class of purity. Concentrations of Zn, Pb and Cd in river sediments quality them as Iow contaminated sediments (1st class) while Cu and Cr concentration as intermediate contaminated sediments (2nd class). The results obtained were compared with those determined before the flood of 1997. It appeared that as a result of flood: increased pH and EC, considerably increased salinity, decreased heavy metal concentrations in both water and water sediments.
