Summary

This edited volume presents recent advances in karstic hydrogeology, covering groundwater flow and behavior in karst systems characterized by soluble rocks including limestone and dolomite, where chemical dissolution creates unique hydrological pathways relevant to water resource management and contaminant transport.

Karst hydrogeology is the branch of hydrogeology that studies how groundwater flows and behaves in karst systems, characterized by the presence of soluble rocks (mainly limestone and dolomite) that favour chemical dissolution by meteoric water [...]

An Overall Perspective for the Study of Emerging Contaminants in Karst Aquifers

This review examines emerging contaminant threats to karst aquifers, which supply about 25% of global drinking water, highlighting their high vulnerability to rapid surface-to-groundwater transport of microplastics, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and other pollutants due to the open, fissured nature of carbonate rock systems.

The invisible problem of microplastics and microfibres in karst systems and aquifers: a multidisciplinary approach

This thesis investigates how microplastics and microfibres move through karst (limestone) systems and underground aquifers using a multidisciplinary approach, a concern because karst aquifers supply drinking water to roughly a quarter of the global population and are particularly vulnerable to contamination given their direct hydraulic connections to the surface.

Karst water resources in a changing world: Review of solute transport modelling approaches

This review examined solute transport modeling approaches for karst water resources under changing climate conditions, evaluating how models handle rapid conduit flow, matrix diffusion, and the effects of extreme precipitation events. The authors identify a need for models that better capture the high variability and rapid response characteristics of karst systems under more frequent storm events.
