Significance Clean groundwater is essential for water supply in many regions of the world. Fast flow to through enlarged cracks and fissures, which known transmit short-lived pollutants into groundwater, often neglected large-scale studies. We quantify rapid transport by fast carbonate rock storage Europe, North Africa, Middle East. show that, transport, up 50% infiltrating may still reach table, substantially more than estimated when neglected. These results imply that contamination risk...
Abstract Karst aquifers provide large parts of the water supply for Mediterranean countries, though climate change is expected to have a significant negative impact on availability. Recharge therefore key variable that has be known sustainable groundwater use. In this study, we present new approach combines two independent methods karst recharge estimation. The first method derives spatially distributed information mean annual patterns through GIS analysis. second process‐based model...
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 Integration of the abundant information derived from different sources, characterizing techniques and modeling methodologies, is crucial for extending our knowledge karst aquifers their available water resources. In this work, a numerically based approach an improved version lumped VarKarst model proposed, which jointly considers spring discharge dye test results in calibration routine, to assess independently contribution allogenic autogenic components total recharge complex system...
Abstract Human pressures and global change are threatening water resources. Circumstances vary in each location; therefore, finding solutions that address local issues helps achieve comprehensive management strategies. In the Andean basins, pre-Inca cultures used nature-based techniques to deal with dry seasons. This knowledge these have been recognized as a strategy increase security. Additionally, they unconsciously applied improve hydrological conditions areas affected by extreme land-use...
Abstract. Karst systems are characterized by a high subsurface heterogeneity, and their complex recharge processes difficult to characterize. Experimental methods study karst mostly focus on analysing the entire aquifer. Despite important role in processes, soil epikarst receive limited attention, few available studies were performed at sites of similar latitudes. In this paper, we describe new monitoring network that allows for improvement understanding including different with land-cover...
Abstract. Understanding groundwater recharge processes is important for sustainable water resource management. Experimental approaches to study in karst areas often focus on analysing the aquifer response using a disintegration of its outlet signals, but only few directly investigate that occur at surface system. Soil moisture measurements have high potential infiltration deeper soil depth or epikarst with an easy and not too intrusive installation. They can yield long-term temporal...
The assessment of the response time a karst aquifer is an important step towards development conceptual models from which tools for water resources planning and management could be applied. aim this work to evaluate applicability joint use statistical time-lag evaluation dye tracer tests techniques with double objective: 1) on hydrogeological functioning that include duality in recharge processes, as well particularities preferential drainage flowpaths respect global aquifers; 2) establish...
Abstract Carbonate rocks in the Mediterranean region form karst landscapes with a variety of morphological and hydrological features, are particular interest from water management perspective as they represent major aquifers. The Karst Aquifer Map Database (MEDKAM) provides 1:5,000,000 scale map showing distribution carbonate evaporite that can host groundwater resources, additional information on other hydrogeological settings, selected terrestrial submarine springs, caves...
Understanding infiltration pathways throughout the different compartments of karst systems (soil-epikarst-unsaturated zone-saturated zone) is vital to assess recharge processes, vulnerability pollution, and general hydrogeological functioning these kind aquifers. To gain deeper insight into soil-water-rock hydrogeochemical processes occurring vertically hierarchized aquifer evaluate applicability soil natural parameters as groundwater flow tracers, present work analyzes spatial temporal...
