Hydrogeological map of Bosnia and Herzegovina
Description
The Hydrogeological Map of Bosnia and Herzegovina is a specific type of thematic map that illustrates the quantity, composition, chemical properties, location, dimensions, geological characteristics, features, and phenomena of groundwater. According to its scale, the mentioned Hydrogeological Map (HGK) falls into the category of medium-scale maps, i.e., 1:500,000, and is classified as an overview map. To better depict relationships on a map of this scale, special attention was given to the hydrogeological categorization of the terrain. All lithological units, a total of 38 types of rocks and rock complexes, were classified into 12 hydrogeological categories based on the type of porosity and the degree of water abundance. The hydrogeological categories with high transmissivity are represented by intense shades of the corresponding color, making it easy to visualize the spatial position of the main aquifers on the map. Due to its visualization, the hydrogeological map can facilitate the presentation of hydrogeological research results; therefore, it is an invaluable tool for communication between investors, researchers, water experts, local government units, and the general public.
