Abstract
In the study area, occupying 4600 km2 in the sector of Dobrich, two large aquifers have been differentiated, these separated by an impermeable layer. The Upper Aquifer, composed of highly porous Miocene limestones, with minor karstic behaviour, and the confined Deep Aquifer, made up of limestones and dolomites from the Malm-Valanginian, bearing typical karstic characteristics. Although the two aquifers are in theory separate, interconnection through poorly insulated wells can be deduced. The Upper Aquifer betrays signs of pollution, while the Deep Aquifer does not, the latter having numerous artesian wells of thermal water, largely abandoned except used in some spas. The highly saline waters detected locally must be «fossil» waters.
