One quarter of the world's population lives in karst terrains, yet
karsts are highly vulnerable to stresses caused by human activity.
This book surveys human impact on karst water, showing that the
increasing pollution of the environment has, to a great extent,
spoiled sensitive karst ecosystems. This text examines such
consequences and offers proposals for future solutions and
strategies. Part One provides an overview of the functioning of
karsts and of human interaction with karst environments over
several millennia. Part Two consists of a systematic examination of
the major areas of human activity affecting karst waters, such as
agriculture, industry, mining and water exploitation. Finally, Part
Three views the effects on karst groundwater within a broader
societal and legislative perspective and considers possible changes
of methodology and approach.
