The paper deals with groundwater regime in the immediate surroundings of the former Medard-Libík mine pit. The hydrological conditions have been monitored since June 30, 2008, when water pumping at the bottom of the mine pit was stopped, up to the present. The groundwater monitoring in the surrounding of the flooding former mine pit has been performed at 5 observation wells, indicated as M1, M2, M3, M4, and M5. At the first stage, thy hydrology was influenced only by the spontaneous water inflow from the drainage area of the former open-pit mine. Then, the controlled flooding of the mine pit with the water from the River Ohře was started.
