Soil cover as pollution barrier in karst areas-brief summary of research results

Paper summarizes methods and most important results of an bilateral interdisciplinary research project on the sealing and retention properties of the fine-grained soils covering selected karst areas in Slovakia and Croatia. Regarding the groundwater vulnerability, filtration coefficient recived by four different methods will be most interesting for hydrogeologists. However, they depend not only on the grain size, but also on the type of clay minerals and soil humidity. Dealing with heavy metal pollution, a considerable part will be retarded in the soil, while the mobility and availability of the retained elements is rather low.
