Occurrence and dynamics of micropollutants in a karst aquifer
Environmental Pollution, 2013Karst systems represent important yet vulnerable drinking water resources. A wide spectrum of pollutants may be released into karst groundwater from agriculture, livestock farming, private households, and industry. This work provides an overview on the occurrence and dynamics of micropollutants in a karst system of the Swiss Jura.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Mathematical Modeling of Karst Aquifers
2015The chapter presents an overview of numerical modeling techniques for equivalent porous media (EPM) and conduit flow formulations, including a case study illustrating the value of conduit presentation. The authors provide an overview of basic numerical modeling concepts, including layering and the assignment of boundary conditions.

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.

Influence of the karst spring submergence on the karst aquifer regime
Journal of Hydrology, 1986Abstract With the construction of a 123 m high dam, a large and permanent karst spring was flooded by water, about 75 m deep. The annual average discharge of this zone is 80 m 3 s −1 . The aquifer zone which discharges through this spring was formed under complex tectogenetic conditions of Dinaric karst. The most prominent structures are overthrusts
