Summary: Complex hydrogeological investigations of karst area. Explanation of hydrogeological occurences in connection with lithostratigraphic and geotectonic relations, and practical application in water supply, melioration works and construction of different facilities in karst area. Delineation of drainage basins of springs Sv. Ivan, Gradole and Bulaž in Istria. Establishing of Sanitary Protection Zones of Potable Water Sources and Protection Measures. Analysis of regime of spring discharge and possibility of springflow increasing. Ground water regime. Establishing of subsurface connections between the ponor (swallow hole) and the spring. Hydrogeological interpretation og ground water tracing.

Keywords: Karst, spring, ground water, ground water contamination, drainage basin, tracers, ground water flow, ground water regime, ground water protection

Research goals: Establishing of individual spring catchment area and the protection from contamination. Regulation of the spring discharge regime. Establishing of accumulation sanitary protection zones. Investigation of the possibilities of the using ground water resources below the level of natural outflow. Estimation of existing and possible karst aquifer natural rehabilitation. The comunications between individual springs and ponors (swallow holes) are affirmed. The water divides of springs in middle Istria are definined. The protection zones of springs Bulaž, Sv. Ivan and Gradole, and protection zones of Butoniga accumulation are established. The hydrogeological investigations inicated a possibility of watering of spring Gradole through ponor Čiže. From Butoniga accumulation water was poured into ponor that increased minimal springflow of Gradole spring. The pumping test at the Bulaž spring prooved usability of ground water recources below the level of natural outflow. The interpretation of data will be used as material for number of MS and PhD theses.
