Summary

A unique, one-stop reference on water resources in karst environments Water in Karstis a one-of-a-kind guide to water resources in karst areas, which are difficult to protect and manage because of the many complex interactions between surface water and groundwater, and any introduced contaminants. Karst environments around the world are under an ever-increasing threat due to changing land uses and over-exploitation. This book addresses the complexity of karst environments in terms of overall water management, including engineering solutions to overexploitation and contamination. Water in Karst Addresses restoration opportunities and limitations Covers surface water-groundwater interactions in karst Explains groundwater extraction and aquifer storage Provides solutions to resource contamination and overexploitation Features an eight-page color insert Describes key aspects of water vulnerability in karst environments Reveals how to apply quantitative models for resource management Comprehensive coverage Surface WaterGroundwater Interactions; Karst Aquifers; Drainage Areas in Karst; Karst Biota; Management of Water in Karst; Predictive Models; Droughts, Floods and Climate Changes; Groundwater Extraction; Balancing Supply and Demand; Artificial Aquifer Recharge; Hydropower Generation with Groundwater; Thermal Water and Geothermal Energy; Environmental and Land Use Regulations; Vulnerability of Water in Karst; Sources and Types of Water Contamination; Fate and Transport of Contaminants; Vulnerability and Risk Maps; Natural Hazards; Land Use Impacts; Restoration of Water Resources in Karst; Risk Assessment; Surface Runoff and Wastewater; Groundwater Remediation; Color Plates
