BRIEF OVERVIEW OF DROUGHT CONDITIONS IN GROUNDWATER IN 2022
Abstract
The year 2022 began with small amounts of snowfall and below-average precipitation during the spring; these were the main reasons why the aquifers did not fill up to their usual levels over the winter and spring. This was followed by a relatively dry summer with a lack of rainfall, especially in the western part of Slovenia. Consequently, in 2022 we experienced very low groundwater levels in most alluvial aquifers, and low discharges from karst springs, particularly in the western and southern regions of Slovenia. This led to drought conditions in the groundwater as well.
