Abstract
The authors discuss concentration of chemical elements in underspoil water subject to a season and to climatic conditions. The features of underspoil water composition are analyzed with respect to chemical composition of spoil rocks in water and acid extracts. Majority of the test elements correlate well with their composition in the acid extract and with the spoil rocks composition. The water extract is assumed to be unreliable to predict composition of underspoil water.
