Coastal Aquifer of the Vransko polje and the Vrana Lake Catchement and Climate Changes - Croatia.

The Vransko Polje catchment, situated in the Middle Dalmatia near the town of Biograd is potentially one of the most vulnerable areas of the Croatian coast to climate change. Whole area is composed of well permeable karstified limestones, some dolomites and alongated impermeable flysch deposits which partly as a barrier prevent direct seawater intrusion into the inland aquifer. The study aims to recognize the principal hydrogeological relations and hydrogeochemical processes that affect the salinisation by sea water influence caused to climate change of hydrology balance and human impact. Hydrogeochemical processes were described by major ion ratios, comprising together with Li and stable isotope content while basic hydrogeological background describe conceptual model of potential changes of hydrology budget caused by climate changes.
