“…Calculations show that total resources of fresh groundwater in Lithuania could permit a sustainable removal of up to 3.2 million m 3 day -1 (Juodkazis 1994). In 1990, the year of the highest groundwater abstraction recorded, the rate was about one-third of this figure.…”

Groundwater abstraction not only affects subsurface water, but also causes changes in the hydrosphere, lithosphere, and biosphere. There are certain symptoms of these environmental changes that might be designated as geoindicators. Geoindicators related to groundwater abstraction and contamination in Lithuania have been classified into three groups related to: (1) the decline/rise of groundwater levels, (2) the deterioration of groundwater quality, and (3) the intensification of water-rock interaction. On the basis of hydrogeological and hydrological investigations carried out over many years, different environmental impacts of intensive groundwater use are demonstrated. The most important among them are the formation of depression cones, intensification of groundwater pollution, saltwater encroachment, and the intensification of karst.

“…Groundwater contamination is a well-known phenomenon, which occurs on local and regional scales in Lithuania (Juodkazis 1994;Klimas 1994). Most contaminants enter unconfined aquifers directly, where some are transformed to other chemical forms (Klimas 1996b(Klimas , 1997.…”
