Abstract
The Miechów Trough and the central part of the Carpathian Foredeep in southern Poland have a highly complex geo-
logical structure and numerous fault zones. These features play a significant role in hydrogeological conditions of the
area. In this area drinking water, medicinal groundwater or thermal groundwater occur, so recognition of their circu-
lations is basic for reasonable groundwater management. In this note, a hydrogeological conceptual model, created for
the purpose of regional scale mathematical modelling, is presented. This conceptual model illustrates the geology of
the hydrogeological system modelled, as well as hydrogeological conditions and characteristics of groundwater circu-
lation, as determined by tectonics. Typical of the research area is the wide diversity of geological and hydrogeological
conditions. The Busko-Zdrój area, a region with a long history of exploitation of medicinal groundwater, presents the
best example.
