Natural groundwater resources of Bialowieza Forest’s territory and their change under the influence of climatic factors
Abstract
The article presents the results of a quantitative assessment of the natural resources of fresh groundwater of Bialowieza Forest, carried out taking into account its geostructural position, hydrogeological features within each specified hydrographic catchment network during the construction of GIS.
A method is proposed for determining the sensitivity of groundwater to modern climatic variations by estimating the change in the value of underground flow into rivers, which is calculated from a river hydrograph. It has been shown that during the period of instrumental observations (1946–2018), the period of modern climate warming (1990–2018) is characterized by a 13.5% decrease in the average long-term value of underground flow into the Lesnaya Pravaya River, the catchment of which covers the southern part of the protected area of Bialowieza Forest.
