Abstract
HYDROGEOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE HOLY CROSS MTS REGION
Summary
The region of the Holy Cross Mts comparises south-eastern part of the Mid-Polish anticlinorium where the maximum elevations are built of the Paleozoic of these mountains, surrounded from NW and S by Mesozoic rocks. The stratigraphic boundary between the Jurassic and Cretaceous is arbitrarily accepted as the northern and southern boundaries of that region, and the Vistula and Pilica rivers - as the eastern and north-western boundaries, respectively. The geological structure and hydrological conditions are highly complex here. The structure has been forming from the Late Precambrian up to the present; therefore, we are dealing with various types of structural stages here. The general hydrogeological characteristics of that region is given and the necessity of protection of fresh water resources is emphasized.
