The influence of Geological Field Structure on Water Quality in the Selected Source of the Ljubija Area, B&H

Underground waters have very important role as sources for settlements' water supply. Pollution of underground waters from one side depends on the environment's burden with pollutants substances of anthropogenic origin, and from the other side, on physical-geographic conditions, of which geologic factors have the greatest role. Geological field structure, besides, affects determining of conditions on underground water's forming, as well as its chemical composition. In this work, the influence of geological structure was presented on the quality of underground waters in the area of Ljubija, the specific large deposits of iron ore. During researches for this paper's needs, analyses were carried out of the general physical-chemical parameters of underground waters' quality.
