the east from Lake Ludas, more precisely on the level of the elbow-shaped meander of the river Keres. Further up to the west it goes along the line which connects the settlements of Stare Torine, Šupljak, Ma- sarikovo and Palić, and then it continu- es towards Subotica after which it sharply turns to the north-east, i.e. towards Kele- bija Lake, at which point it comes out to the state border. Furthermore, almost up to Riđice, the Bačka loess plateau to the north of our country is mainly framed by the state borderline. Only near the settle- ments of Ljutovo, Donji and Gornji Tavan- kut, the northern borderline of this relief entity is again represented by the loess and sandy area towards a smaller patch of san- dy area of the mentioned settlements, whe- re it goes into the territory of Serbia. To the east, south, south-west and west, the borderline of the plateau is mostly well- defined. It consists of a continuous border- line, along which the plateau is elevated above the lowland terrain of the Bačka pleis- tocene terrace in the form of rifts and downs- lopes of different incline from 10 to 30 m. On the mentioned contact point of the morpho- logical entities, a lot of settlements have been built, such as: Velebit, Trešnjevac, Gorn- ji Breg, Srbobran, Vrbas, Kula, Crvenka, Si- vac, Kljajićevo, Svetozar Miletić, Stanišić and Riđica. In the given borderline, the total area of the Bačka loess plateau is 2,800 km2.

it is important to emphasize that hydrologi- cal, as well as pedological circumstances are extremely favourable from the point of view of the formation and input of the phreat- ic water horizon. Namely, for the purpose of the geological pillar of the total Bačka loess plateau, there are early quartar sediments which form the water collecting environ- ment for the phreatic water. Because of such hydrogeological circumstances this phreatic form has a countinuous spreading capacity across the entire investigated area. After the analysis of the conditions of the water input of the phreatic aquifer, the most important factor is the soil. The most dominant type of soil on the plateau is carbonated cernozem which, due to its mechanical composition, Graph 1 The relation of the topographic area and the average annual phreatic water- has good filtration capacity positively influ- table for the period 1951-1980 on the profile 1: Stanišić – Pačir – Žednik – Senćanski encing the input of the phreatic area with at- Trešnjevac mospheric water.

Generally, in the directon west - east, the profile line 1 intersects the entire ter- ritory of the Bačka loess plateau (Graph 1). Analysing the profile, we can see that in its largest part the phreatic water-table gener- ally follows the hipsometric changes in the relief. The aberration from the mentioned regularity exists only in the area between the wells 71 and 60, where the height of the phreatic water mildly decreases, whereas the height of the topographic area noticea- bly increases. This is a result of the fact that the well 71 is on the rim of the valley of Graph 2 The relation of the topographic area and the average annual phreatic water- Čika which has, by its intersection into the table for the period 1951-1980. on the profile 2: Mala Bosna – Žednik – Mali Beograd

So, according to the criterion of the influence of dominant factors on the water regime of the phreatic aquifer of the Bačka loess plateau, it belongs to the so-called climate type. This statement can also be confirmed by the analysis of the Graph 4 according to which the maximum average monthly water-table of the aquifer in all 13 wells appears in June and May, i.e. after winter period of the favourable water balance of the climate factors. On the other hand, the Graph 3 The relation of the average monthly values of the water balance of the climate lowest average monthly water-tables usually factors and average monthly water-tables of the phreatic aquifer of the Bačka loess come in November and December as a result plateau in the period 1951-1970 of the months with negative water balance of the climate factors present during the entire vegetation period. It is also important to notice that the extreme values of the average monthly wa- ter-tables have the same discrepancy in comparison to the average annual levels of the phreatic aquifer for the perennial pe- riod. In June, the maximum level is high- er for 24 cm, and in November the mini- mum is lower for 21 cm from the average annual water-table of the phreatic aqui- fer for all the analysed wells. The obtained values show that the average annual fluc- tuation of water-tables of the phreatic aq- uifer of the Bačka loess plateau is only 45 cm. Taking into consideration this infor- mation, we can say that in relation to the Graph 4 Values of the average monthly water-tables and average values of the average scope of variability, the water regime of the annual water-tables of the phreatic aquifer (m) in the 13 wells on the Bačka loess

towards the south to the river Jegrička which represents the right tributary of the Tisza. Conclusion In the formation of the main characteris- tics of the water regime of the phreatic aq- uifer of the Bačka loess plateau, the main role is given to the physical and geographi- cal factors. Among them, special emphasis is on the climate conditions, i.e. the precip- itation quantity and air temperature, fol- lowed by the geomorphological relations. In relation to the dominant factor within the borderline of the invesitigated area, the climate type of the water regime is estab- lished, whereas in the relation of the scope of oscillations of the phreatic water-table, the regime belongs to the moderate type. As in the earlier research (S. Marković, 1996; D. Pavić, 2006), this time the rule has also been proven confirming that the phreatic aquifer of the climate type is characterised by small annual oscillations of the aquifer level in the perennial average, but with the emphasized amplitudes of the absolute ex- treme water-tables. Taking into consideration the general incline of the terrain and shallow geolog- ical layers, the largest part of Bačka loess plateau has underground drainage directly or indirectly towards the river Tisza. Only in the far western part of the investigated Map 3 The drainage direction of the phreatic aquifer area, part of the western state borderline Bajmok-Sivac, its underground drainage is Katić, P. at al. 1979.
