ABSTRACT. - Patterns and tourist
activities induced by the underground rivers and lakes in the Arieş basin
upstream of Buru –
The presence of
carbonate deposits in the Arieş basin, upstream of Buru induced certain
organization of groundwater resources. Depending on local genetic factors –
geological, climatic, biotic, temporal, etc – the extension and characteristics
of karst aquifers engenders exploitable hydro units in terms of tourism:
underground rivers and lakes. Identification and analysis of morphometrical,
morphological, quantitative, qualitative, dynamic and biotic characteristics
have provided the approach to ranking the hydro entities. Forms and tourism
activities are subsumed to the established typological categories: recreational
and pleasure tourism and multipurpose tourism.
Keywords:
karst aquifers, recreational and pleasure tourism, cave river trekking,
multipurpose tourism
