Influence of catchment characteristics on lake water chemistry in the Tatra Mountains (Slovakia)
Original language description
The study deals with catchments of the alpine lakes in the High Tatra Mountains (Slovakia). The lakes were subject of a long-term monitoring to detect chemical and biotic composition changes of lake water induced by acid atmospheric deposition and by itsdecline. The studied processes required a quantitative approach to describe the characteristics of the catchments. The concept of catchment influence on lake water quality is in agreement with findings of ongoing research. However, the definition and precision of lacking and estimated catchment parameters was not allowed without current technical and computing equipment because of the complexity of mountainous terrain. The key facility for studying relation between lake and its catchment was high resolution digital elevation model (2 x 2 m) of studied area. The morphological parameters (slope, altitude, aspect, real surface area) for 26 catchments were obtained by analysis of the digital elevation model using tools of geographic inform
