The hydrochemical characteristics of the groundwater in the Beskid Sądecki

Multiannual observations of the chemical composition of a Palaeogene (flysch) water aquifer in the Beskid Sądecki point to very good and good water quality in the area. This is mainly due to the land use and management as well as the presence of naturally protected groundwater recharge areas. In many parts of the Beskid Sądecki the groundwater co-occurs with therapeutic waters. For that reason the good quality of groundwater is essential in shaping the chemistry of therapeutic waters. The hydrochemical characteristics presented in the article was based on the results of physical-chemical analyzes of the groundwater performed in the Central Chemical Laboratory of the Polish Geological Institute – National Research Institute (PIG-PIB).
