Information - HS30 Hydrogeology of fissured and karstic aquifers
Event Information
Fissured and karstic rocks host some of the most prolific aquifers. About one quarter of the world's population is largely or entirely dependent on karst groundwater. Unfortunately, these important groundwater resources are highly vulnerable to contamination due to the rapid transport of pollutants in solution conduits. Effective strategies for the management and protection of groundwater resources in karst areas, therefore, must be based on a sound understanding of flow, transport, and reaction processes in these aquifers as well as on reliable methods for hydrogeological characterisation, modelling, and risk assessment.
This session seeks contributions related to all aspects of the hydrogeology of fissured and karstic aquifers including karst development, conceptual models of fissured and karstic aquifers, characterisation and modelling techniques as well as methods for risk assessment and water management in karst terrains. We particularly welcome papers that provide links between field data and innovative conceptual or numerical models.
