Abstrakt

Due to extensive economic activities and high vulnerability of the uppermost aquifer, the shallow groundwater is in places heavily polluted and unfit for drinking. The uppermost aquifer in erosional uplands and limestone plateau has no natural protection or is poorly protected against pollution. The main problems of human impact are related to industry and mining, past pollution from military objects and intensive agriculture of the former Soviet Union.
