Anotace: Earth's hydrological cycle, consisting of the atmosphere, plant cover,

unsaturated zone and groundwater, allows the continual exchange of
substances and energy through physical, chemical and biological
processes. Weather extremes (floods, droughts, tornadoes) and the
effect of global warming reflected in the ocean level and the
increased occurrence of forest fires lead to the study of local
relationships to introduce adaptation measures specifically to water
sources and biodiversity management. The selected territory focused
on specific model objects requires deep knowledge of its
geographical and geophysical characteristics, including
(micro)climatic conditions. The precise origin of (micro)climate
change or its consequences, such as chemical parameter variations or
water amount fluctuations, have not been fully described. Geoengineered proposals for potential Earth temperature management
are on theoretical recommendations. Therefore, this terrain
physicochemical work describes interactions between water source
parameters and locally specified meteorological conditions (water
depth, water temperature, wind speed, air temperature and air
moisture). The monitoring of the model dug well entitled Studnička
pod Senderovom (village Vinné, Michalovce district, Košice region,
Eastern Slovak Lowland) has run within 2022 – 2023 seasons.
Spectrophotometric qualitative and quantitative analysis in the
visible and ultraviolet electromagnetic spectrum of wavelengths
allowed chemical parameters: iron, sulphates, phosphates, nitrates,
and calcium analysis. Measurable and regular monitoring of chemical
and meteorological components can be an effective tool for the
implementation of direct measures to protect biodiversity,
agriculture, and economics. In addition, suggested research can
contribute to predicting potential life self-organization in various
water sources that are important in hydrological, cosmic, and
planetary sciences.
