Investigation of anthropogenic origin of the anomaly water extraction
Major anomalies
Geology and hydrogeology of the region The geological structures of the upper 10 50 meters are well discovered by ground water wells and construction-geology borings. But the deeper structure is much less known, because there was no raw-material or hydrocarbon exploration in the capital of Hungary. Only one refraction seismic and a gravity survey was made in 1971 to assign the location of a thermal well in Népliget (B-88). These refraction profiles show only the surface of the high velocity contrast zone (Triassic or Eocene limestone and the Oligocene marl, clay boundary), no other detailed boundary can be seen on them. We collected and reviewed all -more than sixty- available well data with detailed geological description. Most of them are ended in the 10 200 m region (Holocene - Miocene).
Schematic geological profile across the deep borings. The profile is crossing only the edge of the uplifting area, there is no other available monitoring data or deep boring from the closer region. The surface of the high velocity surface from the refraction seismic survey was used during the compiling of the schematic geological profile.
Gelological profile A short description of the geology and hydrogeology of the area is the following: Triassic (Basement): fractured limestone and dolomite: Good water reservoir, it s on the surface in the Buda side (West from the Danube Gellért Hill). Hot springs are well known there. The first well (Kvassay B-38) on the profile is monitoring this formation: thermal karst water under pressure (positive well). It was pumping well until 1995, since then the water level hasn t changed considerably.. Eocene: fractured limestone: Similar to the Triassic, good aquifer. Oligocene: marl, clay-marl, sand: aquitard, no monitoring data. Miocene: sand, sandy clay, calcareous clay, limestone: Good aquifer; two monitoring wells (Ganz-Mávag B-63, Húsipar B-35 ) are filtering this layer. The groundwater level was dropped between 1980 and 1992, and rising from 1992 to these days. Miocene limestone is quite rare, but it is on the surface in Kőbánya Ó Hill, on the uplifting area. As we described earlier, it was an active limestone and clay mine. The limestone was excavated until the groundwater level was reached, so they didn t apply groundwater depression during the mining activity. Holocene + Pannonian: sand, sandy clay: The sandy layers are good aquifers, the Csömör B-4 monitors the Pleistocene and FÖMTERV X/4 and XIX/2 are filtering the uppermost Holocene aquifer. The Miocene aquifer is expanding on the middle of the profile. The Triassic karst water belongs to a separate water system than the Miocene aquifer. The groundwater level of the uppermost region is connected to the infiltrating water.

Conclusions The uplift of Kőbánya is verified. The motion is real and ongoing. The Kőbánya anomaly does not have tectonic origin. Regarding the anthropogenic origin, the collected hydrological data are not in disagreement with the uplift. The reason of the Kőbánya uplift is not yet fully explained by the available data sets
