The current course of the hydrological research in the High Bieszczady Mts

The paper presents main results of current hydrological studies which are carried out in the High Bieszczady Mountains (Outer Carpathians). The studies included: ground water outflows, hydrographic network pattern, water discharge in main streams, the factors controlling chemical composition of groundwater and streamwater. In 2007 detailed hydrological mapping in Upper Wołosatka catchment (8,32 km2) was conducted. This resulted with information about ground water outflows types, number, discharge, and also their water temperature, specific conductivity, pH and chemical composition. Relations between occurrence of outflows and geology and ground relief were also analyzed. Specific base flow was measured in 30 catchments (with area 3,21-42,95 km2) in October 2009. The recent studies are focused on mapping of springs in Polonina Wetlińska massif.
