The spring area is located on a steep mountain slope at a high elevation, next to the continental water divide. It is estimated that at least 90% of the spring discharge comes from outside its topographic drainage basin. The study area has been strongly affected by tectonic episodes of different ages. Thus, there is a high density of fractures in the crystalline massif, which determines the water content of the area and the occurrence of large springs. The low variability in discharge of the Zieleniec spring area indicates the presence of a strong and stable component source of recharge. It has also been shown that gravitational drainage of solid-rock blocks and small fissures is also an important recharge component. The stable recharge component is associated with deep-water circulation from the Bĕlá River drainage basin in the Czech Republic, flowing beneath the continental divide. Water flows in conformity with a high hydraulic head gradient through deep, open, NW-SE-oriented fissures.
