Estimation of percolating water dynamics through the vadose zone of the Postojna cave on the basis of isotope composition

Within the scope of monitoring water percolation through the 100-m thick vadose zone in the area of Postojnska jama continuous measurements of precipitation were carried out on the surface, and continuous measurements of water flowandphysicalandchemicalparametersof selected water trickles were perfo...
