ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING OF THE SLOVAK REPUBLIC - PARTIAL SYSTEM OF GEOLOGICAL HAZARDS Li ščá k Pavel Klukanov á A.&Wagner P.& I gl á rov á L.&Lab á k P.& Ondrejka P. Geological Survey of the Slovak Republic
I ntroduction • Rio de Janeiro 1992 – Summit of the Earth • Government Resolution approved concept of the monitoring system of the Slovak Republic. The G. directed to the ministries to realise a territory monitoring system of the SR and partial monitoring systems in terms of designed projects. • Information system - monitoring system . The monitoring and information systems have to be perceived as an important tool for safeguarding the environment protection and creation.
Monitoring system of the environment SR � Monitoring system of the environment of the SR is defined as a systematic, spatially and temporarily defined observation of precisely defined attributes of the environmental compounds or influences upon the environment (usually in monitoring network points). � To a certain degree of reliability the monitoring network is capable to characterise given area and, to a higher level, a larger region.

Monitoring System of Geological Hazards - Objectives 1. I t is oriented at such geological factors and at such output data, that are applicable as entry data in solving the problems of preservation of the environment and in warranting an optimum utilization of the geopotential of the country. 2. Geological hazards, harmful natural or anthropogenic processes, which jeopardise the environment, as well as humans. The monitoring serves for observations and assessment of the mechanisms of negative changes in the geological environment .
Structure MS Geological Factors consists of 13 autonomous subsystems, defined according to different type of the influencing geological processes activated by natural or artificial factors. Each subsystem is solved individually, but the optimum solution is in mutual link among several subsystems in such a way, that individual measurements are complementing each other and they are providing sufficient data to obtain an optimum image of the state of the geological environment as a whole. The selection of monitoring sites, frequency of sampling and data collection, as well as the ways of rock samples testing and acquisition of data are subdued to this essential philosophy.
