Karst flash flood in a Mediterranean karst, the case of Fontaine de Nîmes
Karst flash flooding, identified as one of the hazards in karst terrains, is directly linked to the structure and hydraulic properties of karst aquifers. Due to the characteristics of flow within karst aquifers, characterized by a dual flow – diffuse flow within fissured limestone and conduit flow within karst conduits networks – flash flooding may be important in volume and dynamics. Such phen...
متن کاملKarst Aquifer Recharge: Comments on Somaratne, N. Characteristics of Point Recharge in Karst Aquifers.
The article “Characteristics of Point Recharge in Karst Aquifers, Water 6: 2782–2807” by N. Somaratne evaluates various recharge estimation techniques applied to four limestone aquifers in South Australia. Somaratne [1] concludes that methods based on watertable fluctuations, groundwater modelling and water budgets are independent of recharge processes, and are therefore superior to the chlorid...
متن کاملHydrothermal waters from karst aquifer: Case study of the Trozza basin (Central Tunisia)
Tunisia is rich in geothermal resources from ancient civilizations. Hydrothermal activity in Tunisia has been related to three main stages: magmatic and tectonic activities, eustatisme (Atlantic and Mediterranean coupling) and climate change. The principal factor and the responsable of this phenomenon is the meteoric water by piston flow processes. It constitue the catalyst of volcanism. The Tr...
متن کاملComparison of flowpaths to a well and spring in a karst aquifer.
The permeability of some karst aquifers consists of networks of poorly integrated conduits and dissolution-widened fractures. The flow includes conduit flow, especially during storm recharge, but lacks the focused recharge into single master conduits that occurs in more highly developed karst systems. The proportions of conduit and dispersed flow are difficult to quantify in such systems. This ...
متن کاملDetermination of karst aquifer characteristics using physicochemical parameters (A case study from west of Iran)
The karstic Rijab Spring with an average discharge of 3290 l/s is located in the Alvand River basin in the northwest of the Zagros, Iran, which drains Asmari formation. To investigate groundwater flow in the catchment area of the Spring, the physicochemical parameters include major cations and anions, discharge, EC, pH, and temperature were studied from September 2000-2002. The results indicate...
