Pharmaceuticals and other persistent chemicals (PC) in the environment enter groundwater (GW) either thorough a discharge or through surface or waste water. PC in GW can be regarded as tracers that enable the evaluation of general influence on the environment and identification of vulnerable areas of aquifers. Distribution of caffeine, carbamazepine and propyphenazone in the area of Ljubljansko polje and Ljubljansko barje that are important drinking water resources are presented.

The article presents the application of isotope methods in the study of groundwater transport processes in the unsaturated zone of the Selniška Dobrava coarse gravel aquifer. The estimation of groundwater flow characteristics was based on experimental work in lysimeter. Based on long-time isotope investigations with the use of lumped parameter models, mean residence time and mean matrix flow velocity in the aquifer unsaturated zone were calculated.
