Summary:
The main scope of the current Postgraduate Thesis is the hydrodynamic analysis
of
the semi- saline springs of Agion Apostolon, based on data from the period
between
June 2008 and May 2009. The Agion Apostolon springs discharge an important
amount of water of the subsurface aquatic potential of North-eastern Mt
Parnitha’s
system. Emphasis was given in studying and analysing the hydrographs of Agion
Apostolon springs that discharge the karstic aquifer of NE Mt Parnitha. And
especially
the most important part of the hydrograph that corresponds to the recession
period of
the hydrograph.
By reviewing the hydrographs of Agion Apostolon springs, using the
approximations
and the formulas of Maillet, Tison and Schoeller, it has been assigned the
spring’s
flow, the discharges of the karstic system were calculated, as well as
information was recovered for the organisation and the function of the karstic
system.
Finally the hydro-chemical assets of the karstic aquifer ere determined based
on the
relevant chemical analyzes and the Durov, Piper, Schoeller and Stiff plots that
derived
from them.
