Abstract
Karst waters are widespread in the studied area. In the area of the Misia Platform karst aquifers are formed, and in the zones of the Pre-Balkan and the Western Balkans are numerous karst basins formed. The aim of this work is to evaluate the resource in the area and the possibilities for its use in the water management sector. A map of the karst basins in the area is drawn up and a table with their characteristics is made. For this purpose, cartographic methods have been applied using GIS technology. On the basis of the collected data, recommendations have been made for the more efficient utilization of karst waters in the area.
