Abstract: Contamination of water bodies is a large problem in many mining areas in the world. Groundwater in mining areas can be polluted by different mechanisms and the pollution can often be severe. Mixing calculations are useful to clarify the mechanism of pollution as well as to define the source of pollution. Based on the mixing calculation between interstitial water in tailings along strongly polluted rivers and unpolluted groundwater, it is thought that interstitial water in tailings along Bor River and Bela River located in the Bor mining area is causing pollution of groundwater in the vicinity of those rivers.
