This article reports on current knowledge of coastal karst aquifers, in which conduit flow is
dominant, and its aim is to characterise the functioning of these systems which are closely …

Originally published in 1989, Karst Geomorphology and Hydrology became the leading
textbook on karst studies. This new textbook has been substantially revised and updated …

Coastal karst aquifers are common in the Mediterranean basin. With their significant
potential storage capacity, they are an attractive groundwater resource in areas where the …

Management of groundwater resources involves the allocation of groundwater supplies and
water quality to competing water demands and uses. The resource allocation problem is …

Coastal fresh water aquifers are an increasingly desirable resource. In a karstic aquifer, sea
water intrusion occurs as a salt water wedge, like in porous media. However, preferential …

The southern Albania coast, about 147 km long, represents one of the fastest growing areas
of the country for tourism and local economy, resulting in serious problems concerning water …

The salinity of an inland coastal brackish karstic spring is modeled on the basis of a simple
concept of fluid exchange through head differences between a continuous porous matrix …

Spatial and temporal changes in saltwater wedges in coastal karst aquifers are still poorly
understood, largely due to complex mixing processes in these heterogeneous …

This paper is intended to be a reminder of a series of scientific works whose origin is largely
attributable to G. de Marsily, without attempting to make an exhaustive overview of …

Over the last years the sustainable management of coastal water resources has become
strategic, especially in southern Salento Peninsula (Apulia), where mal-performing …
