Increasing groundwater contamination across the globe triggered the concept of “aquifer
vulnerability”, which has been extensively used worldwide during past three to four decades …

Karst environments are characterized by distinctive landforms related to dissolution and a
dominant subsurface drainage. The direct connection between the surface and the …

The karst environment is one of the most challenging in terms of groundwater, engineering
and environmental issues. Geophysical methods can provide useful subsurface information …

Groundwater has become increasingly vulnerable to quality degradation. An elaborate
understanding of its flow, draft, recharge and pollutant transport processes needs to be …

Groundwater vulnerability maps are useful for decision making in land use planning and
water resource management. This paper reviews the various groundwater vulnerability …

The relative importance of karst conduits and fractures in driving groundwater flow affects
the discharge of springs and the long-term availability of water resources. Applying statistics …

Since human beings started to colonise the world, slowly migrating (in multiple directions)
from the African Rift and ultimately reaching the southernmost territories of the Americas …

The drinking of contaminated water is potentially hazardous to the well-being of humanity.
Effective groundwater management depends on detecting groundwater contamination …

Karst landscapes and karst aquifers, which are composed of a variety of soluble rocks such
as salt, gypsum, anhydrite, limestone, dolomite and quartzite, are fascinating areas of study …

The available literature was used in this work to review the methodologies for groundwater
