This paper demonstrates the evaluation of in trinsic vulnerability of karst-fissured waters in an Upper Jurassic aquifer by applying modified DRASTIC method. The area investigated is the Jura Krakowska (South Poland) - an area of upland merokarst (or relictkarst), where the Upper Jurassic aquifer is mainly unconfined. The method applied is a combination of a simulation model of the ground water aquifer (factors: netre charge, hydraulic conductivity, ground wa ter flow velocity in the aquifer) and a geographical in formation system - GIS model (depth of ground water table, lithology of vadosezone, thickness of Upper Jurassic aquifer), and additionally a soil factor was taken into account. In the area of the Jura Krakowska, 5 classes of intrinsic vulnerability to pollution were distinguished according to the values of vulnerability factors. These classes range from extremely high to low vulnerability (IP 200-50). Based on the synthetic map of vulnerability it emerges that high vulnerability indices cover 54% of the area studied while medium and low vulnerability indices cover 46% of this area. The modified DRASTIC method presented seems to be a useful tool to evaluate the intrinsic vulnerability of karst-fis sured aquifers of "Torcal" type with a scattered system of recharge and discharge, and a thick vadosezone of variable permeability. This is consistent with the method developed with European programme COST ACTION 620. All rating methods recommended for karst have limitations, there fore the method applied is constantly updated. Many of them are particularly use ful for areas of bare karst, mountain systems of "Aliou" type and in ar eas of complete karst develop ment (holokarst).
