The present study reports seasonal data about chemico-physical trends, macrobenthic invertebrates, and Phragmites australis decomposition rates within a karstic freshwater system in the western classic Karst. Results presented herein were compared with those obtained from same five years ago. Chemico-physical showed higher temperatures lower levels of pH conductivity than past. invertebrate com...

The application of groundwater vulnerability methods has great importance for the sanitary protection zones delineation karstic sources. Source assessment karst mainly relied on European approach (European Cooperation in Science and Technology—COST action 620), which includes analysis K factor, refers to water flow through saturated zone system. In paper, two approaches have been applied, COP +...

Karst hydrological models are widely used for simulating groundwater dynamics at the aquifer scale. However, modeling streamflow of a topographic catchment that is partially covered by karst rarely reported. This absence due to difficulties properly considering strong differences karstic and nonkarstic hydrodynamics widespread occurrence unclosed water balances in regions intercatchment flow (I...
