Karst aquifers provide drinking water for 10% of the world's population, support agriculture, groundwater-dependent activities, and ecosystems. These are characterised by complex groundwater-flow systems, hence, they extremely vulnerable protecting them requires an in-depth understanding systems. Poor data accessibility has limited advances in karst research realistic representation processes large-scale hydrological studies. In this study, we present World Spring hydrograph (WoKaS)...
Abstract Groundwater pollution by agrochemicals such as nitrogen fertilizers can cause complex biogeochemical transformations to take place in groundwater-dependent ecosystems. To explore the interaction between load and groundwater-dependent, spring-fed ecosystems, a study was conducted Latvia an area of suspected high nitrate (NO 3 − ) vulnerability due its geological settings. A map NO along margins carbonate aquifer is presented. The based on conceptual model that developed during...
A diverse suite of erosional features along the shoreline Lehtma (Hiiumaa Island, Estonia) is used to assess their morphodynamic context and preservation potential. The Holocene strandplain east-facing (leeward) has experienced rapid retreat due anthropogenically induced sediment deficit. study site located just updrift erosional-depositional fulcrum segment, with southerly longshore transport resulting in accumulation eroded sand a drift-aligned spit. most prominent indicators are mature...
Nearly half of Estonia's territory is underlain by Silurian and Ordovician carbonate rocks, which host extensive shallow karstified aquifers that contribute nearly a third the annually abstracted domestic groundwater. Due to glacial erosions, short duration post-glacial evolution for other reasons, karst topography has generally modest dimensions in Estonia. Despite relative youth majority formations, karstification widespread affects large fraction population daily mostly means groundwater...
As karst aquifers are often characterised by non-linear behaviour, ascertaining the turning points in their hydraulic regime may provide essential information on functioning of aquifer. These characteristics also apply to Silurian-Ordovician aquifer system, composed diverse carbonate rocks, Estonia. The system is an important source drinking water northern It comprises Nabala- Rakvere aquifer, a locally groundwater resource that underlies Tuhala area famous for intermittently overflowing...

Recent records of Proteus anguinus outside its historically known range (Gorički et al. 2017), discovered through detection DNA dissolved in groundwater (environmental or eDNA), mark the beginning a new era study and conservation cryptic subterranean biodiversity. An upgraded technology, droplet digital PCR (ddPCR), initially developed for studies gene expression, genetically modified organisms medical diagnostics, is being tested improved much smaller rare stygobiont, cave clam Congeria...
Près de la moitié du territoire estonien repose sur des roches carbonatées Silurien et l'Ordovicien, qui abritent très larges aquifères karstifiés peu profonds, lesquels constituent environ un tiers eaux souterraines captées dans le pays annuellement. À cause érosions glaciaires, courte durée l'évolution post-glaciaire pour d'autres raisons encore, topographie karstique est généralement présente en Estonie. Malgré relative jeunesse majorité formations karstiques, karstification courante...
Groundwater accounts for nearly 99% of all liquid freshwater on Earth. Not only does groundwater provide almost half the global drinking water supply and ensures well-being humans sustain dependent ecosystems (rivers, lakes, wetlands), it is an essential aspect in climate change mitigation too. Despite exceptional importance social, economic, environmental processes, remains poorly understood, mismanaged, often neglected. In order to increase awareness protection, theme World Water Day 2022...
