Abstract

Approximately 20% of the monitored points in the National Groundwater Monitoring Network (NGMN) of Bulgaria are karst springs. The number of monitored karst springs is changing over time for various reasons and currently there are 33 springs monitored continuously and 53 on monthly basis. The monitoring points are distributed over 39 karst basins around the whole country. There are between 1 and 5 monitored springs per karst basin and no monitoring points in 23 karst basins. The present analysis includes the determination of some of the main statistical characteristics of karst springs and it is based on the monitoring data series. The obtained data allow us to make some conclusions of the nature of their water regime. Based on the analysis, some suggestions and recommendations are made with regard to improvements in the monitoring of karst springs in Bulgaria.
