Abstract: The importance of water regime studies of the cave system under the Buda Castle Hill has been highlighted by previous hydrogeology research, as it can serve to inform the maintenance and hazard mitigation of the Buda Castle District. After more than ten years since the latest measurements, an opportunity has risen to study the hydrology of the cave, with a much higher temporal resolution than before. Thus, a monitoring system was developed: the water levels in the cave wells and the amount of drip water are measured. This enables a detailed evaluation of the measured data using statistical methods and the identification of short- and long-term trends. An important objective of the research is to carry out comparative analyses with the results of previous studies and to identify how the infiltrating water increases. It was observed that the water levels in the wells decreased, although the drip water intensity increased.
