Popis: Muránska Planina Plateau is an overthrusted large block of Mesozoic rocks mainly consisting of limestones and dolomites (Silica nappe), overlaying the crystalline rocks of the Kraľova hoľa complex and the metamorphosed sediments of the Struženík sequence. Muránska Planina Plateau is rich in groundwater because of its lithology (mainly permeable limestones and dolomites), extension and thickness of permeable rocks. Fa-vourable geological and geomorphological conditions cause the formation of important groundwater resources, especially near their SE margin (Muraň fault). Most of them are karst springs. The assesment of groundwa-ter resources was one of the major task of our investigation. We have used the analysis of cumulative frequency curve in order to determine the assesment of groundwater resources in the category C2 and C1.
