Abstract
Groundwater under strong influence of surface water – case study from Črneče (Northern Slovenia)
Highlights
Groundwater and surface waters are strongly related and very often representing boundary conditions to each other; whether groundwater is seeping into the surface stream or surface water infiltrates into the aquifer
We have illustrated that groundwater flow is changing due to the conditions in the river and in the recharge area outside of the river influences
As we have shown groundwater flow in the influence area on the rivers’ bank must be observed from the spatial and three dimensional points of view
Summary
Groundwater and surface waters are strongly related and very often representing boundary conditions to each other; whether groundwater is seeping into the surface stream or surface water infiltrates into the aquifer. Interesting is the transition zone between both, usually referred as a bank or hyporeic zone. This zone represents important groundwater storage as well as having very important ecological role. Interactions between the groundwater and the surface water are very often studied and scientific literature about the topic is very extensive. It is a well investigated problem with the application of various methods (Kalbus et al, 2006). Results and conclusions of these studies are thoroughly summarised in various review papers (Sophocleus, 2002; Hayashi & Rosenbery, 2002)
