The Topolev fault, like other fractures, is a multimeter zone of fractured and crushed rocks, which has a strong influence on the movement of groundwater. They are pulled into a rift, pass along a rather large path and come to the surface in the form of sources. It is precisely with the Topolevi fault that a powerful source of tasty water is located near the bus stop. [one]
