5. CONCLUSTON -Springs in 9 se|ected areas Were studied. Areas difÍer in geo|ogy (|itho|ogy, tectonics, intensity of metamorphism), recharge intensity (móuntainous coniřa lowland areas) and intensity of karst development differing by climatic conditions, geology -Concentrated recharge is only minor importance in most of areas compared to diffuse recharge -Most of the springs (90%) show predominant infiltration during last two decades with minor content (0-30%) of water infi|trated in sixties and sevénties of the twentieth century (based on tritium content). Analysis of lBO variations in spring water indicate that contribution of short residence time component (MRT in weekš to months) is about 5-20o/o of the spring yield -These numbers are similar or somewhat lower to results of MRT studies in other karst areas in the world (mostly vast carbonate bodies), which show mean residence time of water in karst aquifers to be from several years to hundreds of years -Volume of water in catchments of particular springs based on mean yield of spring and mean residence time is in orders of units to tens of millions m3 -|n studied karst areas SFo and CFCs can give re|iab|e resu|ts. |f no data from trítium are available the residence time must be considered as a minimum age. -Mean residence time of water percolating... |
