The quality and quantity of crustacea groups the hydrochemistry of water and bottom sediments conditions, in the six selected anthropogenic hollow ponds in the central part of Silesian vojcvodship are presented taking into consideration. On strongly deformed area of the Silesian region one can find water reservoirs acljojning each other but differing the hydrochernical components. The nearness of spoil banks and slag damps affects hydrochemistry of water. In the inspected hollow ponds 20 taksons of Cladocera and 14 taksons of Copepoda were indentified. In the benthos zone these were determined 18 taksons of Cladocera and 14 taksons of Copepoda. In the pelagial zone 19 tak sons of Cladocera and I O tak sons of Copeopda. Were identified the number of taksons in the investigated hollow ponds does not depended on dissolved mineral mailer concentrations.
