Abstract

Groundwater quality management is a task of the EU Water framework Directive, that has to be elaborated for river basin management plans. It should be treated together with surface water resources as an integrated management system and refers to the statutes, state of the environment of river basins and also past and present activity in these areas. The results of groundwater monitoring are the basis for groundwater quality assessment and trends calculation. The range of monitoring is gradually extended; new chemical compounds and microbiological species should be checked. Nowadays groundwater quality management is one of the serious problems for national and river basins water management planes.
