This article presents a study about sediments and water qualityof Brăteni Lake. This lake is generally used for fishing and leisure. The lands that are close to the lake had been previously used for intensive agriculture. Six surface sediment samples and six surface water samples were collected from three representative points from Brăteni Lake, during two seasons (autumn 2015 and winter 2016). The sediments and water samples were analyzed using a portable multiparameter (WTW Multi 350i). Each sample was analyzed for: total dissolved solids, electrical conductivity, oxidoreduction potential, salinity and pH. Due to the allochtonous materials used in the construction of the dam, the sediment samples collected from near the dam had different parameter values.
