abstract:
This study is concerned with the surface waters in the area of the former Sulphur Mine “Jeziórko” in Tarnobrzeg Sulphur Basin. Waters of different origin were used in the study: large anthropogenic water reservoirs in the areas of the highest mining activity and the most intense reclamation, new network of drainage ditches in the drainage system in the area of the former mine, naturally occurring marginal reservoirs in mining fields where the land is low, and the river Trześniówka flowing in the vicinity of the former mine which has now become the basin of the river. The waters were examined for their basic physical-chemical properties. Contents of chemical compounds suspended and dissolved in the waters were analysed. Possibility of eutrophication processes of water reservoirs in the area of the former sulphur mine was also estimated. Low pH (5,2) was found, especially in large reservoirs with little suspended substances and biogenes. It can be assumed that surface waters in the tanks in post-mining areas will not undergo a quick eutrophication process because of their condition.
