Abstract
Using the frequency ratio (FR) statistical model can provide a simple geospatial assessment tool to calculate the probabilistic relationship between dependent and independent variables, including constructing multiple classification maps in a geographic information system (GIS) environment. A total of 10,465 springs were identified and mapped in the GIS environment during the research, including 5,302 in the Flysch Belt, 2,832 in the Crystalline complex, 351 in the Paleogene, and 1,980 in the Older Paleozoic. The effective factors - slope, aspect, plan curvature, elevation, topographic wetness index (TWI), stream power index (SPI), slope length (LS), lithology, distance to rivers, distance to ridge-lines, distance to faults, and distance to lithological borders - were derived from a spatial database. Using these effective factors, groundwater spring potential was calculated using a single model, and the results were plotted in ArcGIS. The final result indicated that the bivariate statistical index model (like FR) could be used as a simple tool in the assessment of groundwater spring potential.
期刊介绍:
Acta Montanistica Slovaca publishes high quality articles on basic and applied research in the following fields:
geology and geological survey;
mining;
Earth resources;
underground engineering and geotechnics;
mining mechanization, mining transport, deep hole drilling;
ecotechnology and mineralurgy;
process control, automation and applied informatics in raw materials extraction, utilization and processing;
other similar fields.
Acta Montanistica Slovaca is the only scientific journal of this kind in Central, Eastern and South Eastern Europe.
The submitted manuscripts should contribute significantly to the international literature, even if the focus can be regional. Manuscripts should cite the extant and relevant international literature, should clearly state what the wider contribution is (e.g. a novel discovery, application of a new technique or methodology, application of an existing methodology to a new problem), and should discuss the importance of the work in the international context.
