From a global perspective, karst geological disaster has great influence on the tunnel
construction. Once it is not handled properly, the karst problems in the tunnel area will cause …

Breakthrough curves (BTCs) are known as adequate evidence to characterize karst aquifers
which mainly specified by dual flow systems (matrix and conduit) as well as some degree of …

The first impounding of the Bumbuna dam was subject to unexpected high seepages
discharge (up to 550 l/s) from the foundation drains. Fluorescent tracer tests, commonly used …

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

Dam-sites and reservoirs located above soluble rock are often damaged by increased
leakage through the sub-surface within the life-time of the structure. The high hydraulic …

Karst systems provide significant volumes of drinking water for large parts of the world
population. Due to chemical weathering, karst systems are characterized by strong …

Abstract The Salman Farsi Dam is constructed on the Ghareh Aghaj River at the northern
limb of Changal Anticline, SW Iran. The anticline is composed of the calcareous Asmari …

Growing water demand poses severe problems to the population in the Mekelle Outlier,
Northern Ethiopia. Hence, storing of rain water for water supply becomes one of the top …

This paper describes the use of multivariate statistical analysis to trace hydrochemical
evolution in a limestone terrain at Zagros region, Iran. The study area includes a deep …

Karstification in carbonate rocks has caused numerous serious problems during
construction projects, such as water escaping from beneath dams and reservoirs, dam …
