Sinopsis de Water resources engineering in karst

Karstified geologic formations (carbonates and evaporites) cover more than 15 per cent of the Earth's land surface ; in fact, 25 per cent of the world's population either lives on top of karst formations or obtains its water from them. These areas contain unusual landscape features such as caves, sinkholes, springs, aquifers, and disappearing streams that are particularly susceptible to anthropogenic disturbance. Engineers, hydrologists, and geologists therefore need to have a detailed understanding of characteristics and vulnerabilities of these formations. Water Resources Engineering in Karst is a definitive engineering guide for the design and construction of water infrastructure projects within karst formations and protection systems for karstified reservoirs, aquifers, streams and springs. It includes investigative techniques, practical design solutions, case studies with failure analysis, criteria proposals for karst...
