T72. Recent advances in karst research, with particular focus on underground waters

-

Congressi SGI-SIMP

Karst shows a high degree of complexity and vulnerability, given the intrinsic anisotropy and physical properties of the system, and the direct link existing between the surface and underground environment. Water stored within fractured and karstified rock masses often represents the only available freshwater resource for local communities. In the context of climate changes, the amount of underground water is threatened by such changes and by incorrect anthropogenic actions as well. The comprehension of groundwater hydrodynamic is essential to manage the precious underground freshwater and guarantee its availability for future generations.
In this session we welcome contributions dealing with karst hydrogeology, geomorphology, geochemistry, groundwater flow modeling, etc., in order to improve our knowledge on karst environment, with the final aim to mitigate the problems related to management of karst aquifers.
