| Summary: | Karstic lakes belong to the natural values of karst. Some of these are very significant land elements, important as habitat as well as aesthetic attraction. Currently most of the lakes are strongly eutrophicated. That is mainly the result of traditional karstic land use shifting to intensive farm production and also increased sewage inflow. We monitored the quality of four lakes on the Aggtelek and Slovak karst: the Papgödör-lake (Farárova jama), the Vörös-lake, the Aggteleki-lake and the Kender-lake. We measured some chemical and physical parameters to check the state of these lakes. In the analysis we determined the changes in the parameters and according to the operative Hungarian standard we carried out a complex water quality assessment for the year 2008. |
