Krupa je reka v Sloveniji, ki izvira jugovzhodno od Semiča sredi kraškega ravnika Bele Krajine. Izvira v močnih kraških izvirih pod steno iz krednega apnenca Stena je visoka skoraj 30 m. Reka je bila leta 1997 zavarovana kot naravni spomenik in območje Natura 2000. V sedimentu izvirnega jezera so odkrili edino slovensko nahajališče jamske školjke kuščerjev kongerije (Congeria cusceri). Najdene so bile tudi endemne vrste jamskih polžev. Tu najdemo tudi človeško ribico (Proteus anguinus). Voda ni pitna! V zaledju Krupe je Iskrina tovarna iz Semiča na več mestih odlagala odpadne kondenzatorje, v katerih so bili uporabljeni strupeni in težko razgradljivi poliklorirani bifenili (PCB), ki so se izpirali v podtalnico.

It originates in the strong karst springs under the wall of a Cretaceous limestone wall which is nearly 30 m high. The river was protected in 1997 as a natural monument-Natura 2000 site. The lake sediments are the only Slovenian location of cave shells Congeria cusceri. There were also found endemic species of cave snails and the Proteus anguinus.Water is not drinkable! Factory Iskra in Semič has in several places buried deposited capacitors, which containd a persistent polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), that have washed into the groundwater.
