The effect of precipitation at the recharge and discharge area of the springs of Rózsadomb, Buda Thermal Karst, Hungary

Abstract

The Rózsadomb area is one of the Buda Thermal Karst’s discharge areas. It is important from both theoretical and practical point of view to understand the temporal changes of the physicochemical parametres of lukewarm waters and their relationships with temporal changes of precipitation. The Molnár János Cave – Boltív Spring – Malom Lake system and its theoretical recharge area were studied. Based on executed measurements and continuous data series, the effect of the precipitation were examined on the temperature, specific electric conductivity, pH, volume discharge and water level parametres of the Boltív Spring and on the karst water level of the theoretical recharge area.
The project was supported by the NK101356 OTKA research grant.
