    Still water This is standing water, so the watercourse is not assessed here: the water has no current, fall or gradient. The chart shows the terrain height along the fishing district.

    Water pollution on the OR Vysoká nad Uhom watercourse

    Water quality according to SHMÚ, wastewater treatment plants near the fishing districts and groundwater nearby

    1 of 1 fishing district with measurements has groundwater nearby with a value above the limit for at least one indicator.

    • harmful substances above the standard at at least one station (metals, pesticides, PFAS, solvents)1

    Source: SHMÚ (yearbooks on surface and groundwater quality), the register of wastewater treatment plants from VÚVH and the EEA. A SHMÚ site is assigned to a fishing district by the same watercourse name and by distance; the yearbook lists the sites that failed the standard, so a missing site is not proof of clean water.

    Geology and geochemistry of the OR Vysoká nad Uhom stream

    Metals and gold in river sediments and water, old mine workings and deposits, boreholes with archive reports, geothermal energy, environmental burdens and landslides around the stream

    The overview is based on public registers and atlases of the State Geological Institute of Dionýz Štúr. The search covers a zone around the water of all fishing districts of the stream (0 km of line in total): stream samples within 1 km, boreholes, mine workings and burdens within 3 km, ore occurrences within 5 km, geothermal sources within 10 km.

    Geological structure beneath the water

    Which rock lies beneath the water line (Geological Map of Slovakia 1:50,000), how old it is, how thick the Quaternary cover is and in which tectonic unit the water flows. The bedrock decides the hardness of the water, the bottom, the turbidity after rain and the abundance of springs.

    Modelled composition of the water in the area the fishing district line runs through. The rasters of the Geochemical Atlas of Slovakia (surface waters) are an interpolation of measurements in sampled streams, so they show the typical background of the area, not a measurement in a particular stream.

    Water acidity

    pH 7.79typical range

    Most rivers and streams in Slovakia have a pH of 6.5 to 8.5. More acidic water is found in streams on acidic rocks (granites, quartzites), more alkaline water near limestones.

    Water hardness

    8.8°dH, moderately hard

    Sum of calcium and magnesium (1.58 mmol/l). Hard water is buffered and its pH changes more slowly; soft water is more sensitive to acid rain.

    Dissolved substances

    Total amount of dissolved minerals. Clean mountain water has tens of mg/l, lowland and limestone waters hundreds.

    Elements in river sediments

    The Geochemical Atlas of Slovakia (river sediments) describes what the river carries in the fine material on its bed. Sediment collects metals from rocks, ore occurrences and past mining and industry. It is not a legal limit or a health risk assessment: it shows how an element on this stream ranks among streams in Slovakia.

    Natural radioactivity and radon

    Airborne gamma-ray spectrometry by ŠGÚDŠ measures radiation from potassium, uranium and thorium in rocks and soil. Granites and some acidic volcanic rocks have the highest values, limestones and floodplains the lowest. Caesium-137 is a remnant of fallout from the Chernobyl accident and nuclear weapons tests.

    Geophysical fields: magnetics and gravity

    Maps of the magnetic field and gravity (ŠGÚDŠ) reveal what lies beneath the sediments and the surface: volcanic bodies, faults and crustal thickness. For an angler they are interesting indirectly: they show where the bedrock changes, and with it the water.

    SVJZ

    Magnetic anomaly

    -31nT

    range -31 to -31 nT

    Deviation of the Earth's magnetic field from its surroundings. Positive and negative anomalies reveal rocks with magnetite (basalts, basic volcanic rocks) and boundaries in the bedrock.

    Bouguer gravity anomaly

    -1mGal

    residual +3.0 mGal

    Negative values lie over thick sediments and under mountains (light crust), positive over dense rocks and thinner crust. It shows the structure of the Earth's crust, not the water.

    Geothermal potential

    The Atlas of Geothermal Energy of Slovakia records rock temperature and heat flow from the Earth's interior. It is the potential of the area, not the actual warmth of the water in the stream. Specific geothermal boreholes and springs near this water are in the geothermal energy section below.

    • Rock temperature at 1,000 m depth65°C
    • Surface heat flow density105mW/m²

    Relief, climate and soils

    A basin is not just water: slope and elevation determine the speed of runoff, climate the temperature and amount of water, and soils what is washed into the stream. The data come from the geomorphological division, climatic-geographical types and soil maps of ŠGÚDŠ.

    How to read these data

    • Zone and distance. The distance is measured from the line of the water to the point in the register (to the centre for areas), with an accuracy of tens of metres. Counts apply only to the zone, not to the whole catchment.
    • Percentile. For chemistry, the highest value is compared with all atlas samples in Slovakia. It is not a legal limit or a health risk assessment; the atlases are historical (published: surface waters 2015, groundwater 1996, river sediments 1999).
    • Limit of quantification. Many samples have a value at the lowest level the laboratory can determine; such results mean "below the limit". For these, the position in the distribution is an estimate.
    • Panning concentrates. Only samples with a find are recorded. The number of grains in a concentrate is not the gold content in grams per tonne.
    • Relation to water. A mine working, landfill or burden nearby proves nothing about the quality of the water in the stream. It serves as a prompt for attention and a starting point for further investigation.
    • Sample points. The area and raster maps of ŠGÚDŠ cannot be downloaded as points, so along the line of each fishing district the value is looked up at points roughly every 3 km. It is a sample of the line, not a continuous record; a very short section may have a single point.
    • Atlas rasters. The chemistry of water and sediments is an interpolation of measurements in a sampling network (Geochemical Atlas of Slovakia). The value at a point is a modelled estimate for the surroundings, not a measurement in the water. The percentile compares the average of this stream with all sample points on streams in Slovakia.
    • Positions and scales. The maps have different scales (1:50,000 to 1:1,000,000), so the level of detail differs between sections. A map outside its coverage means there is no area at that point, not that there is nothing there.
