Data of Geological map were reclassified into classes of IAH classification on the base of hydrogeological characteristics. IAH classification is based on description of the hydrogeological units. Firstly, based on extensiveness and productivity and secondly on type of porosity. The purpose is to provide assistance to the strategy of groundwater exploitation as to protection and water resources management.

The underground geothermal conditions can be presented, irrespective of the aquifers' position, with the appropriate geothermal maps. These maps represent the expected isoterms at a depths and are derived from Geothermal maps - Expected temperatures , which are made with data from 302 boreholes. It is made on the basis of measured temperatures in accessible boreholes throughout the country. However, since the temperature field depends on the geological structure in the depths and tectonic characteristics, the course of the isotherms is a result of many influences, such as thermal conductivity of rocks, permeability and fracturing of rocks, all of which are reflected in the measured temperatures in boreholes. The distribution of boreholes, which were useful for the measurement of temperature, is very uneven and different as regard the depths.
The underground geothermal conditions can be presented, irrespective of the aquifers' position, with the appropriate geothermal maps. This map represents the expected temperatures at a depth of 2000 m and is made with data from 240 boreholes. It is made on the basis of measured temperatures in accessible boreholes throughout the country. However, since the temperature field depends on the geological structure in the depths and tectonic characteristics, the course of the isotherms is a result of many influences, such as thermal conductivity of rocks, permeability and fracturing of rocks, all of which are reflected in the measured temperatures in boreholes. In this depth also a radiogenic heat production in the rocks has smaller influence. The distribution of boreholes, which were useful for the measurement of temperature, is very uneven and different as regard the depths. Following the expected temperatures at a depth of 2000 m a stronger positive anomaly is in the northeastern part of Slovenia, from the line Maribor-Rogatec to the east, while in the eastern part of the Krka basin the anomaly is not so much visible any more. In the northeastern part of the country the anomaly is the result of the thinning of the Earth's crust and greater conductive heat flow from the Earth's mantle.

Geological Units are polygons, defined by equal composition (lithology) and age.
