Mapping services

We use Geographic Information System (GIS) tools to collect, analyse, visualise and manage spatial data. GIS tools are an important part of research, including the development of thematic map apps for the public. These apps include maps of vulnerable areas, maps of groundwater quality monitoring – showing concentrations of nitrogenous substances, the quantitative status of groundwater bodies, and the chemical status of groundwater and surface-water bodies.

Applications prepared for the public

Vulnerable areas of Slovakia

Water bodies affected by pollution from agriculture and water bodies that may be affected by such pollution if the programmes developed for the prevention and abatement of nitrate pollution are not implemented.

Groundwater quality monitoring targeted at nitrogen concentrations

Nitrogen concentrations and the terrain parameters of areas monitored by our Institute in the period 2008–2022.

Chemical status of groundwater bodies

The chemical status of groundwater bodies, as evaluated in 2020, broken down into individual tests. Validity period: the third period of the Water Plan of Slovakia (2022–2027).

Quantitative status of groundwater bodies

The quantitative status of groundwater bodies, as evaluated in 2020, broken down by individual tests. Validity period: the third period of the Water Plan of Slovakia (2022–2027).

Chemical status of groundwater bodies

The chemical status of surface-water bodies, as evaluated in 2020. Validity period: the third period of the Water Plan of Slovakia (2022–2027).
