| Popis: | Two big lakes are located in southeastern Albania, near the border with Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM), Prespa Lake at elevation 850 m above sea level (a.s.l.), and Ohrid Lake at elevation 695 m a.s.l. Mali Thate – Galichica Mountain, which is constructed mainly of carbonate karstfied formations, separates them. In the Tushemisht – Sveti Naum sector of Ohrid Lake, situated on both sites of Albanian – FYROM border, big springs issue that are supposed to be fed by Prespa Lake by the underground karst flow Environmental isotope data of Deuterium and 18O have been used to identify the origin of the recharge of Tushemisht springs situated in Albanian territory. The results of this study indicate that 52 % of the mean discharge of Tushemisht springs is recharged from Prespa Lake, and 48 % of their discharge is recharged from the infiltration of the precipitation in Mali Thate – Galichica Mountain. |
