Beskrivelse
A complete guide to the management and restoration of water in karst environmentsWritten by the co-chair of the Karst Commission of the International Association of Hydrogeologists, this book addresses the unique challenges related to the characterization, management, and protection of karst aquifers, which are present on all continents and numerous oceanic islands. Water in Karst describes karst hydrogeology and hydrology, surface water groundwater interactions, site investigation, data collection, delineation of drainage areas, groundwater extraction, regulatory issues, and water vulnerability and restoration. Predictive modeling methods and solutions to resource contamination and overexploitation are included. Photos, diagrams, and an eight-page color insert illustrate the concepts presented in this practical, comprehensive reference.WATER IN KARST COVERS: Karst aquifersFlow measurements and analysisDrainage areas in karstGeneral principles of water managementRegulations and educationPredictive modelsFloods, droughts, and climate changeGroundwater extractionEngineering regulation of karst aquifers and springsVulnerability of water in karstRestoration of water in karst
