The tapping of karstic groundwater flow as an “invisible” resource can be done in two ways: directly at springs’ discharge points and within the aquifer catchment by artificial intakes such as wells, galleries, or other similar structures. Although many spring intakes are not engineering masterpieces and were constructed by local semiskilled ...

Groundwater quality in karst regions in the Philippines
Limnology, 2013Groundwater in karst regions in the Philippines is inhabited by a diverse yet unique aquatic fauna. While this habitat is threatened by anthropogenic disturbances, basic physicochemical information is lacking. Here, we provide the first report of karst groundwater quality based on the characterization and assessment of samples collected from caves ...

GROUNDWATER PROTECTION IN KARST ENVIRONMENT
2008Protection of karstic groundwater quality can be successful only if it is based on reliable reconstructions of conceptual models of the karstic aquifers, which are normally of high complexity: this requires the integration of classical hydrogeological information with that obtainable by using natural tracers, according to multi-tracing methods.

Karst Groundwater Availability and Sustainable Development
2015The hydraulic behavior of karst aquifers under several hydrologic conditions is described. Different parts of a spring hydrograph have been associated with hydrodynamics of karst aquifers, starting from a strong recharge event up to a long-term flow recession condition.

Review of Groundwater Pollution and Protection in Karst Areas
Water, Air, and Soil Pollution, 1999Karst groundwater (the water in a karst aquifer) is a major water resource in many regions of some countries. Water requirements for most of the settlements in the karstic regions are supplied from karst aquifers. Karst environments are also used for the disposal of liquid and solid domestic agricultural, and industrial wastes, which result in karst ...

Management of Karst Groundwater Resources
2011Karst aquifers are especially difficult to exploit, manage, and protect because of the extreme variability of their hydraulic properties which are almost impossible to determine at a local scale. Moreover, their functioning may be influenced by non-linearities and threshold effects.

An example of identifying karst groundwater flow
Environmental Geology, 1998Hydrogeological investigations for the purpose of regulating the karst aquifer were carried out in the mountain massif of Kucaj in the Carpatho-Balkan range of eastern Serbia. Different geophysical methods were applied in order to identify the position of karstified zones with active circulation of karst underground streams.

Principles of Karst Groundwater Circulation
1987The circulation of water through karstified rocks is similar to water circulation through non-karst terrains under normal hydrologic conditions apart from some specific features. The lateral circulation in karst is effected by the following three concentrating mechanisms (Gunn 1983): (1) overland flow; (2) throughflow, i.e. flow through a layer of soil

Radial Groundwater Flow at Landfills in Karst
Sinkholes and the Engineering and Environmental Impacts of Karst, 2005Broad investigations into the extent of landfill groundwater impacts are often discouraged by adjacent property owner concerns. As a result, inferred groundwater potentiometric surfaces, flow directions, and monitoring well networks are often confined to the landfill property. In many circumstances, particularly in karst settings, this confined, myopic

Prevent Leakage and Mixture of Karst Groundwater
2015Choosing optimal dam sites is a very complicated task due to the nature of karst and the insecurity of water storage often resulting in leakage from reservoirs. An appropriate project concept prior to exploration can significantly reduce the risks of water losses or at least minimize them to acceptable levels, while the absence or reduction of ...
