Living with Karst
Author: George Veni
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 78
Book Description
"Nearly 25% of the world's population lives in karst areas -- landscapes that are characterized by sinkholes, caves, and underground drainage. Living with Karst, the 4th booklet in the AGI Environmental Awareness Series, vividly illustrates what karst is and why these resource-rich areas are important. The booklet also discusses karst-related environmental and engineering concerns, guidelines for living with karst, and sources of additional information."--Provided by publisher.

Karst Aquifers - Characterization and Engineering
Author: Zoran Stevanović
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319128507
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 698
Book Description
This practical training guidebook makes an important contribution to karst hydrogeology. It presents supporting material for academic courses worldwide that include this and similar topics. It is an excellent sourcebook for students and other attendees of the International Karst School: Characterization and Engineering of Karst Aquifers, which opened in Trebinje, Bosnia & Herzegovina in 2014 and which will be organized every year in early summer. As opposed to more theoretical works, this is a catalog of possible engineering interventions in karst and their implications. Although the majority of readers will be professionals with geology/hydrogeology backgrounds, the language is not purely technical making it accessible to a wider audience. This means that the methodology, case studies and experiences presented will also benefit water managers working in karst environments.

Karst Groundwater Contamination and Public Health
Author: William B. White
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319510703
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 329
Book Description
This book sheds new light on contaminant transport in karst aquifers and the public health implications of contaminated karst groundwater. The papers included were presented at a conference held in early 2016 in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and range from lengthy reviews on contaminant transport mechanisms to short articles summarizing research findings. The conference addressed a variety of topics, such as contamination sources, the hydrogeology of contaminant transport, the storage and release of contaminants, and the health impacts as well as the epidemiology of contaminated water supplies drawn from karst aquifers, and gathered perspectives from experts in different disciplines, including hydrogeologists and public health specialists. Although there is a wealth of literature on specific instances of karst groundwater contamination, this book offers an integrated conceptual framework for the public health impacts of karst groundwater, making it a valuable resource for a broad interdisciplinary readership.

Category : Agricultural chemicals
Languages : en
Pages : 42
Book Description
Two karst springs -- Collier and Indian Hole Springs -- drain relatively large groundwater basins in southwestern Illinois' sinkhole plain. Water quality analyses and stream discharge measurements for these springs were used to calculate the total quantity of selected agrichemicals being carried out of the groundwater basins to surface streams.
