The studies were made on the surface water and groundwater sources, the existing and future water production yields of the Riga city. The forecasts about water demand in Riga by year 2010 are estimated as 200 000 m**3 dE-1, with a variation coefficient of 1.13. Total water yield is estimated as 410 000 m**3 dE-1, with a storage coefficient of 2.05, which is considered as sufficient. It is proposed that in future 50% of drinking water for Riga will be abstracted from groundwater and 50% will be produced in the Daugava surface treatment plant.

The paper gives the data about the mineralization process (sum of ions) and the amount of nutrient ions (nitrogen, phosphorus) contained in water of two streams (basin areas 1.63 square km and 2.02 square km) located in soils of different texture in the karst zone. As the study results have shown, higher amounts of DIN (dissolved inorganic nitrogen) were determined under the conditions of higher humus content in the soil (more humus (0.8-3.0%) was observed in glacial lacustrine soils), uneven runoff distribution (when its formation process is interrupted), and increasing DIN concentrations in silt. N-NO3 purification coefficient in stream water was higher when the stream was flowing via non-drained wood-covered area, also under the conditions of higher air temperatures. TP (total phosphorus) concentrations contained in stream water mostly depended on large amount of precipitation (especially in summer) as well as on phosphorus contained in silt: higher P2O5 concentrations contained in silt determined lower TP concentrations in water (determination coefficient of the relation r**2=0.24-0.30).
