[摘要] Karst aquifers are considered to pose the biggest challenge to hydrogeologists because of theextreme heterogeneity and anisotropy of the internal hydraulic structure. For these reasons, calculation methods, including numerical ones, in suchsystems are often unreliable, especially when theyconcern local practical problems. Antonio Pulido-Bosch, who is one of the most eminent experts inkarst hydrogeology, has now decided to summarisein the present volume his > 40-year-long research inkarst areas, mainly in Spain, but also in other countries. The book also profitted from rich sources ofknowledge assembled since the days of the fathersof karst hydrogeology, Cvijic and Martel, up to thepresent. From a wide range of karst hydrogeology,the author has chosen the issues included in thesubtitle of the book, namely: Conceptual models ofkarst aquifers, time series analysis in karst springs,hydrogeochemistry of karst waters and problemsrelated to groundwater exploitation in karst areas.
