12. Physical and chemical parameters of underground water samples

13. Physical and chemical parameters of underground water samples

14. Quality of underground waters The results of physical and chemical tests of collected waters were compared with the limit values stated in the Appendix 3 of the Ordinance of Ministry of Environment dating from 11th of February 2004.

15. According to the Ordinance of Ministry waters are classified into 5 groups: • first group – water of very good quality, • second group - water of good quality, • third group - water of satisfactory quality, • fourth group - water of unsatisfactory quality, • fifth group– water of bad quality.

17. The quality of waters from the area of municipal dump in Zakopane: • first group – waters from none piezometers, • second group - waters from piezometers P-1 and P-5. No significant contaminants were found in these waters. Waters from these piezometers are the natural ones, not influenced by the dump, • third group - waters from piezometer P-9 belong to this group,

18. fourth group - waters from piezometers P-3, and P-10 belong to this group - waters of unsatisfactory quality, • fifth group– waters highly contaminated by the outlets from the dump, concentrations of some parameters exceed the limit values which causes that these waters are classified as waters of bad quality. This concerns waters from the piezometer P-2.

19. The presented results were used to create the project realized with the application of INTERGRAPH Microstation MGE software package, which includes the following modules n the Windows 95 system: Microstation 95, MGE Basic Nucleus, MGE Basic Administrator, MGE Base Mapper, MGE Terrain Analyst, MGE Grid Generator, MGE Coordinate System in conjunction with a Centura SQL database functioning in the Novell 4.11 platform.

20. Isolines of electrolytic conductivity in underground waters

21. Isolines of nitrates concentration in underground waters

22. Isolines of sodium concentrations in underground waters

23. Isolines of chlorides concentrations in underground waters

24. CONCLUSION The application of the model constructed with the use of the INTERGRAPH Microstation MGE software package to evaluate the propagation of contaminants coming from the municipal dump in Zakopane makes it possible to visualise the results of the conducted investigations. It also facilitates considerably the process of data processing, by offering additional examination capabilities. The tool used correctly illustrates the characteristics of occurrence of contaminants in the examined area. The visualisation of the underground water monitoring results enables to undertake the proper actions for the environmental protection.
