EXAMINATION OF THE DRIPPING WATERS OF THE IMRE VASS CAVE IN JÓSVAFŐ

Abstract

The karst waters are of excellent quality, making them suitable for use in water supply, which is a highly important issue in today's context. The study of the operation of the karst system can assist in estimating the quantity of karst water resources. Among the objectives of this current research is to investigate the hydrological regularities of karst waters. We are seeking answers as to whether the karst water resources can be estimated based on drip yields, therefore, we are examining the relationship between precipitation, the Kistohonya spring, and drip site discharge. Understanding the operation of the karst system, especially the drip waters, is a complex task. Establishing a mathematical relationship between precipitation time series and drip site discharge time series is nearly impossible due to the highly complex processes occurring in nature. However, trends can still be observed from these observations, which can aid in estimating water resources.
