Abstract
The purpose of the research was an inventory and monitoring of springs in the territory of the Carpathian National Natural Park (northeastern Carpathians, Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast, Ukraine) and the identification of the main hydrological and hydrochemical regularities of their functioning. For the period 2011–2019 about 40 expeditions were carried out. The main stages of monitoring of springs, which is carried out in the Carpathian National Natural Park: 1) collection of available information about the springs; 2) field surveys of the first level (description of springs and mapping); 3) field surveys of the second level (measurement of flow rates and water sampling); 4) field surveys of the third level (monitoring). Monitoring studies covered about 300 springs. The springs have insignificant flow rates, cold in the temperature regime of water. Most springs in the Carpathian National Natural Park (about 98 %) have water mineralization in the range of “very fresh” and “normally fresh” (30–250 mg · dm−3).
