Linear kernels for Karst Aquifers
Water Resources Research, 1982Karst aquifers contain significant water reserves in many parts of the world, but development and management of these reserves is difficult because of the complexity of the aquifers. This paper presents a method of characterizing karst aquifers based on the use of single, linear kernel functions.

The Aubonne karst aquifer (Swiss Jura)
Eclogae Geologicae Helvetiae, 2005Une synthese des donnees hydrogeologiques acquises dans une vaste region karstique de la chaine Jurassienne a permis de reconnaitre un systeme hydrologique majeur: le systeme Aubonne-Toleure-Malagne. L’enregistrement continu de parametres hydrauliques aux principaux exutoires determina un debit moyen de plus de 6 m3/s.

Numerical Karst: Spatio-Temporal Modelling of Karst Aquifer Systems
2013The quantitative study of karst aquifers is of great interest due to their enormous importance as water resources and their environmental impact on both the surface and underground. Most attempts to model karst systems use black box models where a transfer function of the system is estimated based on the statistical relationship between input time ...

Karst Aquifers: Hydrogeology and Exploitation
2008Karstic terrains cover approximately 12% of the Earth’s continental surface and 25% of the world’s population is supplied partially or entirely by karst water resources. In the Mediterranean and Southeast Asia, karst aquifers are the primary water resources.

Estimating potential for exploitation of karst aquifer: case example on two Serbian karst aquifer
Environmental Earth Sciences, 2013Rational use of karst water resources depends considerably on the existence of a successful approach to estimating karst groundwater potential for exploitation. The term groundwater potential for exploitation involves the application of regulatory measures affecting natural outflow regime.

Karst Transboundary Aquifers: Challenges for Management
2010The karst has very different characteristics than all other environments. Water circulation in karst is more heterogeneous than in non-karst areas. Karst terrains show strongly different hydrological and ecological characteristics than non-karst terrains.

Is the Term ‘Karst Aquifer’ Misleading?
2010Carbonate rock sequences commonly provide significant quantities of groundwater but the term ‘aquifer’ is potentially misleading when applied to these sequences because, in common usage, it implies a single body of groundwater in which water moves down a hydraulic gradient towards a specific surface outlet.

Karst: Environment and Management of Aquifers
Karst comprises complex systems of soluble rocks and water forming a surface and underground environment with rich but vulnerable aquifer systems that produce the world’s largest proportion of pristine water. The interactions of soluble rocks and water create landscapes and subsurface forms that are not found in any other rock or aquifer.Zoran Stevanović +3 more

CHARACTERISATION OF A TRANSBOUNDARY KARST AQUIFER: THE CLASSICAL KARST
2010In the hydrogeological sense the karst aquifer of Classical Karst / Kras is a uniform unit, but politically divided between two countries. The main part of the aquifer is located in Slovenia, but the whole karst coast and the springs area are located in Italy.
