The paper discusses the importance of understanding the geological (lithological, structural) characteristics of an area from the perspective of understanding aquifers. It is the basis on which we can define the size of the recharge area, the type of aquifer, and also assume the main water flow of groundwater. Knowledge of the geological characteristics of the area is also important for assessing the threat to the aquifers.

The paper shows the assessment of the applied research methods that have enabled to design the conceptual model of the observed aquifer and assess the current state of the water resource. In such approach, where the analyzes combine various parameters and factors, the systematic use of research methods is crucial. The results showed that the basic geological investigations, such as lithological and structural mapping, are necessary and fundamental for further planning of the analyzes (hydrogeochemistry, trace experiments etc.) and final interpretations. Furthermore, with the right methodological approach we can avoid unnecessary additional analyzes at a certain investigation stage, which by themselves would not provide sufficient data for interpretation.

The study presents the results of the comprehensive approach of the case study of Učja valley aquifer. The results show that systematic research and the combination of methods are essential. The basic research represents the geological understanding of the area (geological mapping), which provided important basics and information for the further planning of analyses (hydrogeochemistry, trace experiments etc.), and is also crucial for the final interpretation. The idea of methodological approach was presented at the study of Učja valley aquifer.
