Abstract
Hydrogeological research in western Crete, has led to the revision of the geological map of the area and the creation of a new lithological map in scale of 1:25.000. According to the investigation results, Trypali Unit forms a separate hydrogeological entity in the region that is extended widely. Folding and faulting of this unit combined with the widespread fault systems determine the ground water flow in the region.
