Owing to the rapid industrialization and urbanization of this city, more water resources are necessary in this semi-arid region. Thus, the objectives of this work were to characterize the chemical properties of groundwater supplied to MMA and to assess inter-annual variations in the water chemistry. Three groups of water were identified: recharge waters from mountain belts dominated by marine sedimentary rocks (Ca-HCO<sub>3</sub> type), transition zone waters from alluvial sediments (Ca-HCO<sub>3</sub>-SO<sub>4</sub> type) and waters flowing through conglomerates and alluvial sediments of the northeastern MMA (Ca-SO<sub>4</sub> type). The ionic composition and the salinity gradient of each water group were in agreement with the topographic flow paths of the study area.

Formation of permafrost, infiltration of melted water and oxidation will influence chemical composition of ground water. Two analogues of the changes are presented. They are ground waters in two mines in the Bohemian massive: (1) Mine “Svornost” in an abandoned historical uranium deposit Jáchymov (Joachimstahl), (2) underground research facility of “Bukov” near the uranium deposit of Rožná. Ground water was sampled from surface to a depth of 1200 m. The water–rock interaction during the infiltration and flow of ground water is the cause of the observed stratification of the chemical composition.
