“…According to Boehrer et al (2017), this impediment is demonstrative of the features of a meromictic lake. Similar processes have been observed in other lakes with high water mineralisation (Molenda 2011, 2018, Moser, Weisse 2011. The identified water stratification in the lake is permanent and occurs both in summer and autumn.…”

“…Many post-mining excavations fill with water and become interesting hydrographic objects (Ramstedt et al 2003, Pellicori et al 2005, Balistrieri et al 2006, Hrdinka et al 2013, Schultze 2013, Tucci, Gammons 2015, Molenda, Kidawa 2020, and limnological studies conducted most often focus on identifying selected features of water chemistry (Moser, Weisse 2011, Pociecha et al 2017, Żurek et al 2018, Oszkinis-Golon et al 2020. The physicochemical parameters of water in some lakes indicate a high level of toxicity, which poses a potential threat to the natural environment in their vicinity.…”

On the Holy Cross Mountains (southern Poland), located within the tectonic zone of the Trans-European Suture Zone (TESZ), numerous former quarries exist, including those of Cambrian quarzitic sandstones and sandstones with pyrite veins. This article presents the results of geochemical studies on the waters of the acidic mine pit lake Podwiśniówka (with an area of 1.5 ha and a maximum depth of 7.0 m) conducted in 2018. The tests were carried out in a vertical water column (every 1 m) in the central part of pit lake. The mean concentration of metals/metalloids, determined using inductively coupled plasma-quadrupole mass spectrometry (ICP-QMS), was found to form the following sequence in decreasing order: As> Cu> Ni> Co> Cr> Zn> U> Pb> Cd> Tl. With increasing depth, there was a general upwards trend in the concentrations of all the determined elements. In all cases, the average value of the single pollution index in the water column greatly exceeds the very strong level in relation to the geochemical background of surface waters globally (As – above 1250 times). The integrated pollution index for the ten trace elements in the water column increases with depth, and its average value exceeding 250 times the highest reference level. At the same time, the cluster analysis carried out showed the existence of two distinct depth zones in the pit lake: upper (0–4 m) and lower (5–7 m), differing in the scale of the water pollution.

“…Moreover, the hydrochemical type is constant and does not change in the annual cycle [34]. On the other hand, variability of the hydrochemical type was found in other post-exploitation reservoirs (e.g., dolomite), although these are scarce [8]. In post-exploitation reservoirs, the sulphate-calcium hydrochemical type is also rare because this type of water is most often found in post-exploitation reservoirs of gypsum or sulphide minerals [5,8].…”

“…In most cases, it concerned individual reservoirs [2][3][4][5]. There are only a few studies in which the physicochemical properties of the waters of postexploitation reservoirs were characterised more comprehensively [6][7][8][9][10]. So far, however, no comprehensive characterisation of the physicochemical properties of waters and the classification of post-exploitation peat reservoirs, which are a particularly interesting group, has been carried out.…”

The article presents the hydrographic and hydrochemical characteristics of post-exploitation reservoirs formed in peat excavations. Two natural bog lakes were selected as the control objects for the study. The research indicated that both the waters of post-exploitation peat reservoirs and natural bog lakes show low electrolytic conductivity (<100 µS/cm) and acidic water reaction (pH < 5.5). The concentration of major cations and anions is also very low. The concentration of calcium and magnesium does not exceed a few mg/L. Hydrochemically, all post-exploitation peat reservoirs are bi-ionic sulphate–calcium (SO42−-Ca2+). This distinguishes post-exploitation peat reservoirs from natural bog lakes in which multi-ion waters were found, for example, sulphate–chloride–calcium (SO42−-Cl−-Ca2+) and sulphate–calcium–sodium (SO42−-Ca2+-Na+). The calculated water humic state index (HSI) allowed the classifying of the examined reservoirs as polyhumous. The value of this index, in all reservoirs, was >50. Based on the calculated hydrochemical dystrophy index (HDI), it was found that all post-exploitation peat reservoirs are dystrophic. So far, no such hydrochemical type has been found in other post-exploitation peat reservoirs. Therefore, the examined objects should be classified as unique post-exploitation peat reservoirs.
