The goal of the paper was to investigate role of water bodies for the residents of Cracow, in particular the role of lakes and ponds in the rural areas near Cracow. To achieve this a questionnaire involving 746 Cracow residents above the age of 15 was carried out. It proved that almost 78 percent Cracow residents use water bodies for recreation. The highest number - 55 percent of the ones resting on water visit water bodies in Cracow and vicinity. The visitors pay particular attention to the surrounding of the pond - whether it is clean. It is reflected in the proposals of improvement they give. The municipality is the most often indicated as responsible for making improvements. Second part of my paper present chemical analyses of water bodies from the commune Liszki (Kryspinow - Budzyn) and Niepolomice (Zabierzow Bochenski). They do not show exceeded levels of harmful substances. Both water reservoirs can play an important role in ecotourism due to great natural values
