Hydrochemistry of underground waters in Chynov cave
LUTZ, Vojtěch
This thesis deals with the evaluation of hydrochemical characteristics of groundwater (dripping water) in The Chýnov Cave and the subsequent statistical processing of the results. There were followed three sampling points, which were irregularly distributed in the cave system. Bicarbonates occured as the dominant anions in the dripping water. The dominant cation was calcium. Water can therefore be classified as bicarbonate - calcium. This corresponds with the expectations for The Chýnov cave location. There were also detected enhanced concentrations of nitrates and sulphates at sampling site Štola - this has long-term character and influences the quality of the underground stream of The Chýnov cave, which is directly connected to spring "Rutický" (source of drinking water for the town of Chýnov). Although a protective zone is declared over the whole territory of Rutice water resources, there is increased amount of nitrates and sulphates which probably has anthropogenic character and it comes from applied fertilizer and mineralization processes in arable land in the close surrounding of the National Natural Monument: The Chýnov cave.
