The article presents the evaluation of the influence of the heavy metals content in the water from selected Strzelin Quarry Lakes located in Central Europe on the possibility to use the water for irrigation. The guidelines provided by FAO and in PN-84/C-04635 were the basis of the evaluation. The water pH ranged from 7.1–9.0, on average 7.8. The zinc content was in the range from 0.40–29.00 µg•dm-3, on the average 14.40 µg•dm-3, while the content of copper ranged from 0.00–50.10 µg•dm-3, on average 21.13 µg•dm-3. The cadmium content fell into the range from 0.00–5.50 µg•dm-3, on the average 0.83 µg•dm-3, and the lead content ranged from 0.00–18.10 µg•dm-3, on average 3.16 µg•dm-3. The chromium content ranged from 0.00–21.00 µg•dm-3, on average 4.26 µg•dm-3 and, finally, the content of nickel ranged from 0.00–39.80 µg•dm-3, on average 6.70 µg•dm-3. The values of the analysed heavy metals were similar to the concentrations noted in natural lakes and artificial water reservoirs. As far as the heavy metal content is concerned, the water from the selected Strzelin Quarry Lakes met the requirements that allow using it for the purposes of agricultural irrigation.

Human intervention in the geological environment is commonly thought to pose a threat to geoheritage. However, new information from the Western Caucasus where unique geological features are concentrated in Mountainous Adygeya, implies that man-made features in fact add value to geoheritage. Such features include a lengthy artificial niche in the Guama Gorge, accumulations of large artificial clasts along the road leading to the Lagonaki Highland and the Khadzhokh Quarry with the artificial Red Lake. These contribute to the regional uniqueness of geosites and can be classified as geomorphological, sedimentary, economical and hydro(geo)logical geoheritage types. Interestingly, these artificial features have natural analogues in the study area. Such integrity of local geological landscapes urgently require special interpretations for guided excursions and explanatory panels for correct comprehension of the origin of these unique features on the part of unprepared tourists. Generally, the human imprint on geological landscapes of Mountainous Adygeya is significant and occasionally positive, which makes the entire geodiversity hotspot of special, international interest and an object for further investigations.

The paper presents the evaluation of the possibility to use the water from five quarry lakes located in County Strzelin for the purposes of agricultural irrigation. The evaluation was based on the guidelines provided by FAO and in PN-84/C-04635. The average values of water quality indicators were as follows: electrical conductivity – 0.365 mS×cm-1; Sodium Adsorption Ratio – 0.75; Total Dissolved Solids – 233.9 mg×dm-3; water pH – 7.8; BOD5 – 1.6 mgO2×dm-3, while the average ion concentrations were: nitrates – 1.6 mgN-NO3×dm-3; sulphates – 188.5 mg SO4×dm-3; chlorides – 30.95 mg Cl×dm-3; sodium 22.6, mg Na×dm-3; manganese – 0.05 mg Mn×dm-3; and iron – 0.04 mg Fe×dm-3. The values of the analysed indicators were similar to the concentrations noted in natural lakes and unloaded water reservoirs. The water from the analysed quarry lakes met (with some minor limitations) the requirements that enable its use for agricultural irrigation, in particular sprinkler irrigation.

W pracy przedstawiono wyniki badań zawartości biogenów (Nog., NH4, NO3, NO2, Pog., PO4) w wodach nieczynnych kamieniołomów, których celem była ocena ich stanu. Średnia zawartość Nog. mieściła się w granicach 1,10–3,50 mgN·dm-3 a Pog. w przedziale 0,39–1,08 mgP·dm-3. Nie stwierdzono zagrożenia zbiorników azotanami ze źródeł rolniczych, maksymalne stężenie NO3 wynosiło 1,06 mgNO3·dm-3. Wysokie stężenie Pog. (>0,1 mgP·dm-3) powoduje eutrofizację, występująca we wszystkich zbiornikach, objawiająca się zakwitami glonów oraz wpływa na złą ocenę stanu wód. Najgorszą jakość wód odnotowano w zalanych kamieniołomach KG-3 i KG-2 będących pod presją ze strony ścieków z gospodarstw rolnych. Badane wskaźniki zanieczyszczeń wód w kamieniołomach KG-1, KŁ-4, KM-5 spełniają wymagania kategorii A1 i potencjalnie mogą być źródłem wody do spożycia (po uzdatnieniu).

The paper presents the results of the research of nutrients concentration (total nitrogen – TN, NH4, NO3, NO2, total phosphorus – TP, PO4) in the waters of inactive quarries. The aim of research was to assess the condition of quarry lakes. Average concentration of TN was within 1.10-3.50 mgN×dm-3 and TP in the range of 0.39–1.08 mgP·dm-3. No risk of reservoir enrichment by nitrates from agricultural sources was found, the maximum NO3 concentration was 1.06 mgNO3·dm-3. High concentration of TP (>0,1 mgP·dm-3) causes eutrophication, occurring in all reservoirs, manifested by algal blooms and affects poor water status assessment. The worst water quality was found in the quarry lakes KG-3 and KG-2 exposed to the sewage from farms. The examined indicators of water pollution in quarry lakes KG-1, KŁ-4, KM-5 fulfill the requirements of category A1 and potentially may be a source of water for consumption (after water treatment).
