WPŁYW SKALI ROZPOZNANIA NA OCENĘ PODATNOŚCI WÓD PODZIEMNYCH NA ZANIECZYSZCZENIA NA PRZYKŁADZIE BADAŃ W KAMPINOSKIM PARKU NARODOWYM

Abstract

INFLUENCE OF THE RECOGNITION SCALE ON THE ASSESSMENT OF GROUNDWATER VULNERABILITY TO CONTAMINATION EXEMPLIFIED BY STUDIES IN THE KAMPINOS NATIONAL PARKAbstract. Maps of natural groundwater vulnerability to contamination illustrate the assessment of natural groundwater vulnerability. They are also one of the important components that are taken into consideration while making a decision as regards the site management and objects potentially troublesome for the environment. The researches of natural vulnerability were conducted for the area of the Kampinoski National Park (on a regional scale) and for the area (about 30 km2) near Wiktorów (part of the Kampinos National Park) on a local scale. The assessment of vulnerability has been performed with the use of the modified DRASTIC method and calculations of the time migration method of a contaminant through the unsaturated zone. The results of the study indicate that the evaluation of natural groundwater vulnerability to contamination depends on the following factors: research methodology, degree of area recognition, applied simplifications and the purpose of research.
