heal.abstract	Groundwater samples were collected from 25 sampling sites of the Oropos-Kalamos basin aiming to describe the groundwater quality in relation to geology, lithology and anthropogenic activities of the study area. Chromium speciation analysis, factor analysis, GIS database and geochemical data proved successful tools for the identification of natural and anthropogenic factors controlling the geochemical data variability and for the identification of the redox couple controlling Cr speciation. A Durov diagram is used to classify groundwater quality into five types: Ca-HCO3, Mg-HCO3, Na-Cl, Mg-Cl and Ca-Cl. The groundwater quality of Oropos-Kalamos is influenced by various natural and anthropogenic factors. Evaluation of water quality for drinking and irrigation purposes is discussed. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.	en
