The karst groundwaters of Syria
Journal of Hydrology, 1965Abstract In Syria, there are four lithological-stratigraphical successions which have evolved into karstic aquifers (Fig. 1). They are the carbonate sediments of the Jurassic (1000 to 2400 metres), of the Middle Cretaceous (650 to 850 metres) and of the Tertiary (irregular distribution and thickness) as well as the highly-soluble evaporate beds of ...

Monitoring of Karst Groundwater
2015Monitoring of groundwater in karst aquifer (quantitative and qualitative characteristics) is of great importance for its abstraction and its long-term and safe use, particularly for the purposes of water supply. In order to obtain relevant information about the functioning of karst aquifer it is necessary to implement a series of actions and measures ...

Karst and karst groundwater resources in the Mediterranean
Environmental Earth Sciences, 2015Karst landforms were first described and studied in Mediterranean regions, where these common landforms display their main hydrological characteristics. For this reason, Mediterranean karst is often considered to be the common reference. However, when we examine the general settings of Mediterranean karst and their groundwater resources more carefully,

Numerical groundwater modelling in karst
Geological Society, London, Special Publications, 2017Abstract The success of translating a conceptual site model for a karst site into a numerical groundwater model will depend on both the experience of the user and the capabilities and limitations of the selected computer program. Despite its numerous advantages, even MODFLOW – probably the most widely used, tested and verified modelling ...

Karst morphology and groundwater vulnerability of high alpine karst plateaus
Environmental Geology, 2008High alpine karst plateaus are recharge areas for major drinking water resources in the Alps and many other regions. Well-established methods for the vulnerability mapping of groundwater to contamination have not been applied to such areas yet. The paper characterises this karst type and shows that two common vulnerability assessment methods (COP and ...

Impact of grout curtains on karst groundwater behaviour: an example from the Dinaric karst
Hydrological Processes, 2011AbstractGrout curtains are vertical grout walls installed in the ground. In karst terrains, their construction is primarily connected with dams and reservoirs. Their main role is to increase water tightness and to prevent progressive erosion, blocking possible seepage paths along karst fissures and conduits. In this article, changes in the behaviour of

Surface Waters and Groundwater in Karst
2015Karst is defined as a terrain, generally underlain by limestone or dolomite, in which the topography is chiefly formed by the dissolving of rock, and which is characterised by sinkholes, sinking streams, closed depressions, subterranean drainage and caves (Field 2002).

Groundwater withdrawal impacts in a karst area
Environmental Geology, 1993During a 3000-gpm pump test on a groundwater supply well in Augusta County, Virginia, residential properties were impacted. The impacts included lowered farm pond water levels, development of a sinkhole, and water level decrease in residential wells.

1980
In the previous chapters there has again and again been a noticeable contrast between karst water and groundwater. This is a peculiarity of the German language but is nevertheless of general significance. It is a consequence of Grund’s theory of karst groundwater (1903) (see Chap. 6.2.3).
