Karst Vadose Zone Hydrology Explored Through Cave Drip Water Dynamics: The Roles of Soil, Epikarst and Climate

open access: yesHydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 6, June 2026.
Cave drip rate monitoring in Nova Grgosova Cave reveals three types of drip sites: (1) predominantly constant, (2) seasonally varying and (3) mostly constant with occasional sharp increases. The observational data coupled with one‐dimensional water‐balance model demonstrates that evapotranspiration and soil–epikarst storage, rather than precipitation ...

A three-dimensional karst aquifer model: The sierra de las nieves case (Málaga, Spain)

open access: yes, 2015
[EN] The mathematical modeling of karst aquifers has been limited to black box models many times where the input (recharge) is related to the output (spring discharge) by using a transfer function from system theory and the spectral analysis of time ...

Karst Aquifer evolution in fractured, porous rocks [PDF]

open access: yesWater Resources Research, 2000
The evolution of flow in a fractured, porous karst aquifer is studied by means of the finite element method on a two‐dimensional mesh of irregularly spaced nodal points. Flow within the karst aquifer is driven by surface recharge from the entire region, simulating a precipitation pattern, and is directed toward an entrenched river as a base level ...

Simulation of Soil Water Content in Clayey Soils Where Dissolution and Precipitation of Pedogenic Carbonates Impact the Accuracy of Sensors Measuring Soil Water Content

open access: yesHydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 6, June 2026.
This study deals with limitations of frequency domain reflectometry sensors, including data drift, when monitoring clayey soils with pedogenic carbonates. Despite these inaccuracies, the results demonstrate that corrected measurements of soil water content can still successfully calibrate hydrological models.

Oases of endemism: Regional aquifer desert springs serve as biodiversity hotspots preserving vulnerable endemic taxa in the Great Basin and Mojave Desert regions

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Spring ecosystems in arid regions often serve as crucial biodiversity hotspots by providing some of the only reliable sources of surface water. However, anthropogenic activities and climate change have severely degraded spring ecosystems worldwide, emphasizing the need for large‐scale multidisciplinary studies informing conservation efforts ...

Terrestrial Analogs to Titan for Geophysical Research

open access: yesReviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Saturn's moon Titan exhibits remarkable parallels to the Earth in many geophysical and geological processes not found elsewhere in the solar system at the present day. These include a nitrogen atmosphere with a condensible gas—methane—replacing the Earth's water, leading to an active meteorology with rainfall and surface manifestations ...

The hydrogeology of bromate contamination in the Hertfordshire Chalk: incorporating karst in predictive models

open access: yes, 2010
Point source contamination of groundwater by bromate (BrO3^-) in the Hertfordshire Chalk Aquifer forced the closure in 2000, of a major public supply ground- water abstraction and presents a continuing threat to regional water resources.

A statistical approach for describing coastal karst aquifer: the case of the Salento aquifer (Southern Italy)

open access: yesAcque Sotterranee
A time series approach was proposed to improve the knowledge of a wide coastal karst aquifer. The approach combines time series decomposition, trend, autocorrelation and cross-correlation analyses using both daily and monthly temperature, rainfall and ...

Hydraulic Conductivity Behaviors of Karst Aquifer With Conduit-Fissure Geomaterials

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2020
This study used laboratory analog and numerical experiments to simulate groundwater flow in karst aquifer and investigated the effect of dimension factors and water pressure on the hydraulic conductivity for karst groundwater flow in conduit-fissure ...
