Abstract
The evaluation of the vulnerability of the karst aquifer and the source in the Coteţul Dobreştilor system was performed on the basis of geological, hydrogeological and pedological data. The methods proposed in the Final Report of COST Action 620 were used. The available field data resulted in assessing the parameters P, I and in characterizing the saturated aquifer karstic network parameter (K). The soil cover over the carbonate deposits is generally shallow and easily bypassed by the superficial flow, the protection of the karstic aquifer and the source thus being minimal.
