Abstract
Here the chemical and biochemical changes in the quality of ground water in the Danube bank's aquifer during the period of 1955–1991 are discussed. Special emphasis is given to the thermodynamic conditions particularly the redox potential Eh during the period from 1987 to 1991. The Danube is a well oxygenated river in which organic contaminants are removed and relatively clean water infiltrates into the aquifer. During the last few decencies, water quality has degraded and the groundwater composition is affected negatively in some places, particularily during flooding events.
