Abstract

The paper reviews research into karst system recharging the vaucluse springs in the Tatra Mts. Investigations of present-day karst systems are carried out directly with tracer methods, as well as based on interpretations of stationary observations in springs. Direct methods lead to the determination of groundwater migration routes and their rates, with further information from interpretations of results obtained from monitoring the vaucluse springs of the area.
