Rhythmic karst springs

Rhythmic springs (ebb and flow springs, intermittent springs, potajnice) belong to the group of springs which appear exclusively in karstified terrains. The paper describes various types of rhythmic springs and gives their classification. It also develops a mathematical model for the functioning of this type of springs based on the principle of recharge and emptying of the underground reservoir...

Karst springs hydrographs as indicators of karst aquifers

By analysing the hydrographs of karst springs it is possible to identify aquifer characteristics and, accordingly, the main features of a karst rock-fissure massif. Consequently, relevant data can be obtained by analysing hydrograph recession curves. This paper presents a detailed analysis and explanation of numerous cases of break points on recession curves via various values of the recession ...

MICROBIAL SOURCE TRACKING - FAQs

Microbial Source Tracking within your watershed can provide important information regarding the Point Source (structures, pipes, sewage outfalls) and Non-Point Source (runoff, animals) contamination present in your service area. Determination of human, ruminant and other fecal inputs into surface source or ground waters can provide a scientific basis for watershed management decisions and can a...
