    The work on estimation of water filtration time through the aeration zone in Kocinka catchment area was aimed at creating a detailed Map of groundwater vulnerability of the first aquifer in the catchment area and detailing it to obtain the resulting map of the water filtration time through the aeration zone. This will allow for a more detailed analysis of the water quality risk in the catchment area and to determine the rate at which the land-water center will react to the change in pollutant load from the surface. Both maps were created in ArcGIS 10.5.1, based on the methodology and method of calculation of the Groundwater Vulnerability to Pollution in Poland (Witczak, 2011). The Kocinka catechment is one of the test areas of the BONUS Soils2Sea project, which theme is „Reduction of loads of agricultural pollution affecting the Baltic through groundwater and surface water”. Kocinka catechment was included due to high levels of nitrate pollution.

    The chemistry and quality of water from the artesian wells of the Jurassic aquifer in Krakow
    (Wydawnictwa AGH, 2014) Chruszcz-Lipska, Katarzyna; Winid, Bogumiła; Maruta, Michał; Chmura-Skirlińska, Antonina
    Selected quality parameters of groundwater from four artesian wells of the Jurassic aquifer located in the center of Krakow (Cracow) are presented. Water from these public wells i.e. <i>Nadzieja</i>, <i>Jagielloński</i>, <i>Królewski</i> and <i>Lajkonik</i>, during 20 years of exploitation, has had constant bacteriological purity and rather constant chemical composition. A comparison of nitrates concentration in the investigated wells with Quaternary wells located in the same area, and with municipal drinking water in Krakow shows that water from the above-mentioned four wells is characterized by the lowest concentration of NO3 ions. Very low nitrate and nitrite concentration suggests that despite passage of time the chemical composition of water from the investigated intakes is not affected by anthropogenic pollution because of isolation of water reservoir due to geological conditions.
