The study gives an overview of the evolution of the concepts and approaches to karst
groundwater vulnerability, its connections to previous vulnerability evaluations and of the …

Karst aquifers are characterized by extreme heterogeneity due to the presence of karst
conduits embedded in a fractured matrix having a much lower hydraulic conductivity. The …

The characterization of the karst conduit network is an essential task to understand the
complex flow system within karst aquifers. However, this task is challenging and often …

Morphometric analysis is the quantification of shapes, which makes irregular shapes found
in nature analyzable and comparable. Cave morphometry has been used for the genetic …

Assessment of the karst network geometry based on field data is an important challenge in
the accurate modeling of karst aquifers. In this study, we propose an integrated approach for …

Groundwater models based on terrain resistivity can show the diverse properties and
processes occurring between fractures, boreholes and conduits. Using electrical resistivity …

The city of Tulum, in the state of Quintana Roo (Mexico) depends almost exclusively on
groundwater for water supply. The groundwater is exploited from a coastal aquifer which …

When planning infrastructures such as tunnels in karstified formations, a risk assessment of
groundwater inflow must be conducted. The aim of this paper is to present a workflow for the …

Karst aquifers are difficult to model due to their complex conduit networks that are
heterogeneous and anisotropic. Here, we present a heuristic algorithm for modeling karst …

Despite intensive explorations by speleologists, karstic systems remain only partially
described as many conduits are not accessible to humans. The classical exploration …
