Quantifying and understanding recharge behavior of aquifers in complex hydrogeological
systems is challenging, which limits our ability to manage water resources in karstic areas. In …

For many countries, karst aquifers are a significant source of potable water; thus,
understanding their hydrogeological behavior is of great importance. However, in …

The Jinan karst spring system, discharged by 108 springs in 2.6 km2 city center area of
Jinan, China, has been suffering lower regional groundwater levels, which threatens the …

Paleokarst reservoirs are the major type of the Ordovician carbonate reservoirs in the Tahe
Oilfield. Due to the strong heterogeneity in distribution, it is a real challenge to detect the …

Despite protection measurements and their natural position, groundwater resources are very
vulnerable due to natural and anthropogenic impacts. This is especially emphasized in karst …

The problem of karst rocky desertification caused by soil loss is very serious in some karst
areas of southwest China. The cycle process of rainwater–surface water–underground water …

This study focused on geospatial variation of recorded discharge of 45842 karst springs, as …

Abstract The Sarabkalan Spring serves as a primary water supply to irrigation and domestic
use in the Sirvan Region, Iran. As it has a highly variable discharge, understanding its …

Abstract Dasht-e-Arjan Lake is located in the southern Zagros mountain ranges of Iran. It is a
tectonic karst polje, fed by a single spring plus local surface runoff, and drained by a single …

Caves are laboratories for many disciplines that work in natural sciences including
mineralogy, biology, hydrogeology, and archaeology. In this study, bi-monthly samplings …
