The main goal of the research was a detailed study of the consequences, caused by groundwater abstraction in the Neresnica brook catchment (Slovak Republic) since the water supply source Podzamcok ...was put in operation in 1973. This goal was supplemented by research of groundwater origin, groundwater chemical composition and its changes. Field measurements, analyses of water samples and statistical evaluation of hydrometeorological data were used to gain and process the data. It was showed that overexploitation of groundwater in the catchment resulted in distinct diminishing of stream flow discharges in low flow periods, groundwater level dropping and disturbance of hydraulic connection between surface and groundwater. Groundwater quality was quite stable during the whole period of observation. Groundwater modeling was proposed to be used for the re-estimation of utilizable groundwater amounts in the catchment.
An abstract of an article examining acid and intermediate volcanic bodies in the central Slovakia to understand the mode of magma flow and emplacement mechanism of highly viscous volcanics is ...presented. Findings using integrated AMS suggest that the internal magmatic fabric in the quarry forms a fan-like pattern typical for andezite exclusive domes in the region.
