Groundwater Quality on the Adriatic Karst Island of Mljet (Croatia) and Its Implications on Water Supply by Staša Borović, Josip Terzić, Marco Pola

“…Due to a short observation period and untypical distribution of precipitation in the same time interval, the data can only be considered indicative. An unusual pattern of sulphate anion concentrations, which cannot be attributed solely to fresh- and seawater mixing, was observed in one of the blatinas, but its origin could not be determined based on available data. …”
