Sažetak
Months of field research in the headwaters of the Vrapčak stream in the southwestern part of the Medvednica mountain North of Zagreb, Croatia, have resulted in discovery of 95 springs, mostly on limestone and sandstone bedrock. The research area has features of fluviodenudational relief with moderate vertical dissection and a variety of slope angles, which were analyzed using ArcGIS tools. Revealed springs were photo-documented and georeferenced. Discharge was measured along with basic hydrologic parameters (electrical conductivity, water temperature, pH, and total dissolved solids). The biggest number of springs are rheocrene and helocrene in terms of habitat formation. Most of the springs belong to the discharge classes VII. and VIII. of Meinzer's classification. According to the measured parameters, the water of the selected springs meets the required standards of drinking water quality. For more systematic and comprehensive research in the future, further and long-term monitoring of a larger number of hydrological indicators of springs is needed, as well as an interdisciplinary approach, possibly realized by applying different geographical, hydrological, geochemical, geological and ecological methods and tools.
