Gravitational drainage of the pit, carried on with the dense systems of canals and ditches, caused significant changes in the aquatic environment, particularly in the Quaternary groundwater horizon. These changes are intensified by the influence of adjacent Zn-Pb ore mines and water wells. Current conditions of groundwater flows were reconstructed with the numeric model of filtration area. This model was applied to simulation and prognosing of hydrogeological conditions after the closure of mining operations and during the remediation of the pit towards the recreation purposes. The final hydrodynamic pattern was prognosed within the Quaternary-Triassic groundwater horizon together with the expected flow rates in natural surface flows, canals and ditches. Moreover, the areas of prognosed depression or impression of groundwater table were identified.}, title={Modelling ofchanges in the aquatic environment of the Szczakowa III sand pit}, type={Artykuł}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/133642/PDF/12_GSM_23_1_2007_Haladus_Badania.pdf}, keywords={Hydrogeology, filtration modelling, mine drainage}, }
