| Short description: |
Megasites are large areas contaminated due to industrial operation and are usually considered a non-point source of pollution for groundwater and surface water. They are difficult to describe and manage as they often consist of many parts with different types of activities and may have different owners. The Tarnowskie Góry megasite is heavily contaminated with barium, boron and strontium. The pollution is migrating both to groundwater and surface water. To protect the Gliwice groundwater basin, which is a main source of drinking water in the region, an integrated management system should be developed.
