Abstract. The quality of near-surface groundwater reservoirs is controlled, but also threatened, by manifold surface–subsurface interactions. Vulnerability studies typically evaluate the variable interplay of surface factors (land management, infiltration patterns) and subsurface factors (hydrostratigraphy, flow properties) in a thorough way, but disregard the resulting groundwater quality. Conversely, hydrogeochemical case studies that address the chemical evolution of groundwater often lack a comprehensive analysis of the structural buildup. In this study, we aim to reconstruct the actual spatial groundwater quality pattern from a synoptic analysis of the hydrostratigraphy, lithostratigraphy, pedology and land use in the Hainich Critical Zone Exploratory (Hainich CZE). This CZE represents a widely distributed yet scarcely described setting of thin-bedded mixed carbonate–siliciclastic strata in hillslope terrains. At the eastern Hainich low-mountain hillslope, bedrock is mainly formed by alternated marine sedimentary rocks of the Upper Muschelkalk (Middle Triassic) that partly host productive groundwater resources. Spatial patterns of the groundwater quality of a 5.4 km long well transect are derived by principal component analysis and hierarchical cluster analysis. Aquifer stratigraphy and geostructural links were deduced from lithological drill core analysis, mineralogical analysis, geophysical borehole logs and mapping data. Maps of preferential recharge zones and recharge potential were deduced from digital (soil) mapping, soil survey data and field measurements of soil hydraulic conductivities (Ks). By attributing spatially variable surface and subsurface conditions, we were able to reconstruct groundwater quality clusters that reflect the type of land management in their preferential recharge areas, aquifer hydraulic conditions and cross-formational exchange via caprock sinkholes or ascending flow. Generally, the aquifer configuration (spatial arrangement of strata, valley incision/outcrops) and related geostructural links (enhanced recharge areas, karst phenomena) control the role of surface factors (input quality and locations) vs. subsurface factors (water–rock interaction, cross-formational flow) for groundwater quality in the multi-layered aquifer system. Our investigation reveals general properties of alternating sequences in hillslope terrains that are prone to forming multi-layered aquifer systems. This synoptic analysis is fundamental and indispensable for a mechanistic understanding of ecological functioning, sustainable resource management and protection.

The utility of a 1:100,000 scale land system survey near Monarto was assessed by using the profile data obtained from remapping part of the area, at 1:25,000 scale, to soil series and types by the free survey method. (i) The Land Systems: On a test for the completeness of the soil profile classes, it was found that no classes had been missed in the land system survey: all soils mapped in the free soil survey had been previously described in the land system report. The success of the survey in estimating the proportion of profile classes was 78 %, and the score for purity, the chance that any profile class can be correctly predicted from the map and report, was 37%. From these tests the survey was judged a success. (ii) The Land Units: The land systems were mapped into their component land units, and their quality or utility was assessed by measuring the variation of soil properties within each unit. While there was a statistically significant reduction in variability within the land units compared with that for the whole area unmapped, the amount of reduction was slight. The variability of individual properties, as indicated by coefficients of variation, varied widely. Least variable were B horizon texture, thickness and structure, and A horizon texture. The quality of the Monarto land system map would have been improved by the use of medium-scale colour aerial photos and a different field inspection method. It is advocated that the concept of the land unit be dropped.

The article discusses the problems of using soil-cartographic materials in the development of measures to optimize land-valuation work on the irrigation massifs of the south of Ukraine. Attention is focused on such problems as the quality of soil maps, which were compiled in the 1960s. The basis for the development of agricultural-meliorative measures are soil maps and cartograms of agro-production groups, to which most can make a number of remarks that relate to the quality of these materials, no matter how attractive they may be after the cameral correction, digitization and presentation in the form of computer GIS packages. Particular importance is given to soil cartographic materials for the assessment and evaluation of land, especially on the land market. The conducted studies made it possible to establish that the land cadastre, their evaluation and assessment in connection with the introduction of the land market in Ukraine, may contain large errors that are associated with the use of obsolete soil survey materials. Therefore, there is a need for a repeated large-scale soil survey, which cannot be carried out without providing the necessary cartographic materials and space images that would be accessible to pedologists. The second important task is the development of methodological guidelines that would take into account both the achievements already obtained and all the new developments that have emerged in soil cartography in recent decades. It can be assumed that the agricultural-meliorative measures developed on this basis to increase the productivity of land and maintain soil fertility when they are embeded will have a significant economic effect and contribute to improving the ecological situation on irrigation massif. Key words: soil maps, evaluation and assessment of land, GIS-technology, irrigated agriculture.

Environmental Events

Some issues of the use of unmanned aircraft and space vehicles in monitoring the consequences of technical and environmental events and precision farming are considered. The proposed technology is aimed at improving the recognition accuracy of infrastructure objects with obtaining the numerical values of their 3D coordinates. The aim of the research is to improve the quality of monitoring using neural network identification and classification of objects in multi-zone satellite images obtained from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV). Research includes both theoretical research and applied problem solving. The mathematical basis of image processing is the image recognition computer. Practical research is based on experimentation, software implementation, testing of algorithms and technology. An effective method of video surveillance of the territory has been improved. The task of the authors' research is to improve the accuracy of objects recognition on the earth's surface (specific infrastructure objects, the sky, the state of vegetation of agricultural land). The authors have experience in this area. The solution to this problem occurs simultaneously in two directions. The first direction: the technical result is ensured by the fact that the technology offers the use of a UAV equipped with two video cameras. The second direction is the use of scientific idea consisting in the development of a method for joint computer processing of digital and analog images obtained from UAVs, as well as quasi-simultaneous and reusable multi-zone satellite images. A new result of the research is the developed data structure for storing the model of the recognition process, which allows to jointly save dissimilar characteristics and membership functions of different types in the same tables

Data collection, data processing, data presentation and data application in the System of Precision farming guarantee a success of this system in the market. Difficulties of technologies, which are currently and continually involved in this system, argue against its practical using by farmers. In this case, service company wants to create a suitable environment not only for data collection, but also for the high quality of the information distribution to customers. One of such tools is the MapServer placed on Internet web sites.
