Natural radioactivity of drinking water with various geological origin in Balkans region has been studied. Collected water samples are analyzed for total alpha and total beta activities and specific alpha- and gamma-emitting radionuclides content using low-background proportional counting and alpha and gamma-spectrometry techniques. Obtained activity concentrations of U-238, U-234, U-235, Ra-226, Th-232, and K-40 in water samples and radioactive disequilibrium between members of the natural radioactive series, based on the isotopic ratios, has been discussed.
