Abstract

A ground water resources management within the large karst catchemnt requires comprehensive and detailed characterization of whole hydrogeological system. In this article, a part of results obtained during the study period, between 2005 and 2009, is presented. One part of results applied to relevant geological, structural and hydrogeological criteria for determination of sites suitable for monitoring quantity and quality groundwater monitoring in the drainage area of the Jadro and Žrnovnica springs by the deep monitoring boreholes. The other results concerned application of the tracing test results oxygen and deuterium stable isotope distribution in the Jadro and Žrnovnica spring waters as well as spring waters of surrounding catchments of the Krka River and the Cetina River for delineation of their drainage areas. Obtained knowledge will be very useful for further protection and management of this valuable ground water resource.
