Abstract

The aim of this paper is to present the hydrologic and hydrogeologic conditions in the mountainous region of Ano Geropotamou in the Rethimno of Crete. In the frames of the present study, geologic, hydrogeologic and drilling data were collected. The hydrologic network, controlled mostly by the tectonics and partly by the lithology of the Alpine sediments, is described. Finally, the calculation of hydrologic balance and evaluation of water reserves of the individual basins located in the studied area is attempted.
