Geophysical investigations in the Radovna River Spring area (Julian Alps, NW Slovenia)

vodeAbstractThe Radovna River Valley is located in the north-western part of Slovenia Julian Alps, where there an extensive intergranular aquifer whose depth to pre-Quaternary bedrock unknown. Therefore, obtain information about valley and geometry two geophysical methods were used our study; ground penetrating radar (GPR) seismic reflection method. The low-frequency GPR method has shown be useful for determining groundwater predominant recharge. Also, high-resolution provided insight morphology basement with deepest point at 141 meters below surface. Measurements hydrogeological parameters such as level river discharge measurements carried out study area. Both data analyses showed that are highly fluctuating rapidly changing, indicating a well-permeable aquifer, implying extremely sensitive vulnerable extreme climate events. have important alluvial well increasing knowledge springs system, which will contribute very future studies.
