The Pandivere Upland is a karstic area in northern Estonia, with spring outflows from the Ordovician limestones.
Currently, Estonia's air surveillance is based on the Kellavere radar, located on the Pandivere hills.
The direction of groundwater flow has also been changed in that region; natural groundwater flowed from the Pandivere upland to Lake Peipsi.
