Karst Aquifer Vulnerability Assessment (KAVA) Method—A Novel GIS-Based Method for Deep Karst Aquifers

, 2021
Karst aquifers in the Dinaric karst are very rich with groundwater and are a very important resource for public water supply. The characteristics of the Dinaric karst are the lack, or very thin layer, of covering deposits, large amounts of precipitations,

Waiting for the rains: An attempt to evaluate the efficiency of the large Roman cistern at Barbariga Stancija (Casematte, Istria, Croatia)

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 41, Issue 1, Page 99-117, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Access to freshwater has always been a critical factor in sustaining human settlements, especially in regions with limited water resources. In the Mediterranean region, where dry summers and karst landscapes limit water availability, ancient societies developed advanced methods for collecting and storing rainwater. Among these, cisterns played
