POSSIBILITIES OF DESTRUCTIVE CHANGES IN HYDROGEOLOGICAL CONDITIONS DUE TO SEISMIC WORKS Summary Seismic works may cause destructive changes in the existing hydrogeological conditions, and in consequence of this - alterations in water intakes, inundation or drying of soils. It has been ascertained that these changes are related to a given natural environment, mainly to a shallow occurrence of carbonate rocks, and to a diversified morphology of the terrain. Fig. 1 presents geological and geomorphological structural elements subject to changes in water environment due to seismic works, and Fig. 2 shows the degree of these changes in the individual areas. To the most susceptible terrains to geological damages related to ground waters belong uplands and mountains.
