Desertification in karst is an effect of climate change and not sustainable anthropogenic
activities, the combination of which, however, causes the gradual loss of karst natural …

Karst aquifers are one of the main potable water sources worldwide. Although the exact
global karst water utilisation figures cannot be provided, this study represents an attempt to …

Hydrologists and hydrogeologists both study the flux and storage of water with the numerous
interactions and feedback mechanisms of surface water and groundwater. Traditionally …

The relation between rainfall and the discharge from two springs, located at the base of
different karst massifs in southern Italy, is investigated by crosscorrelation analyses. Data …

Karst springs are the exclusive source of water during dry months for many Mediterranean
regions. The impact of climate change on the hydrology of Mediterranean karst springs has …

Spatial heterogeneity in the subsurface of karst environments is high, as evidenced by the
multiphase porosity of carbonate rocks and complex landform features that result in marked …

In 2015, central and eastern Europe were affected by a severe drought. This event has
recently been studied from meteorological and streamflow perspective, but no analysis of …

Based on the long hydrological time series, the correlation between karst spring discharge
series and rainfall has been analysed, using the Standard Precipitation Index (SPI). Analysis …

This study aims to estimate hydrological drought risk using probabilistic analysis of bivariate
drought characteristics to assess both past and future drought severity and duration in three …

Triggered seismicity in karst regions has been explained assuming the existence of a
hydraulically connected fracture system and downward diffusion of surface pore pressures …
